A physical connection and collaborative function aren't enough to define a single organ anymore. It must also share a developmental and evolutionary origin.
As a respiratory therapist in the US performing the same type of lung function and capacity tests this article speaks about, I find this research and journalism is so valuable to society! I have seen so many awlful situations with kids during poor air quality times. The lungs and respiratory track are exposed to the outside air. We simply are not designed to breathe particulate matter or emissions. Their lungs and alveoli are actively growing. Children breathe more rapidly than adults.When ultrafine particles and emissions bypass the upper airway defenses, they lodge deep in the lower respiratory tract, triggering acute inflammatory responses which can lead to deaths. I never want this to happen to anyones children. So many bad things in the world right now but seeing this made me smile today.
The fun part is we can believe AI will generate boatloads of cash and require no additional cash, and financial history will come to an end. But the future is not set in stone. Simplistic, naive and even optimistic and maximalist thoughts about AI are in the end just guesses.
