interesting to watch these shows for changes in social attitudes. Like, everyone knows that Rob and Laura slept in separate beds, but how many people realize that "oops!" he accidentally married her, semi-illegally, when she was 17?

Evidently plants that live in shady places tend to have larger seeds because after germination there needs to be enough energy for the seedling to grow leaves and be able to reach the light (or perhaps to have enough foliage to get enough light to continue growth). On the other hand there is also danger of predation because some animals (such as rodents) will eat larger seeds, which doesn't happen with tiny seeds (e.g. a dandelion).

This is backwards. A giant sloth or other large animal is equally good at spreading large or small seeds. What would make actual sense is that perhaps there is an advantage to having a large seed (for instance, more energy stored inside) but size is limited by the ability of animals to disperse the seeds (for instance, both a mouse and giant sloth can move raspberry seeds but only the sloth can move the avocado). So, the sloth may have allowed the evolution of a larger seed but it didn't do anything to make a larger seed to be favored in natural selection.

"Tea" is used for basically any infusion with leaves and hot water even though these are not all tea. Chamomile tea, herbal tea, fruit tea are not tea but referred to as tea. A tricky one is "red tea" which people often think is just another color like green or black or white, while it is actually just a wild plant from South Africa (roibos) that isn't tea at all but is used as tea.

There are differences based on varieties, and the soil where it is grown etc. but those differences are very small compared to whether it is simply dried (green tea) or fermented for various periods of time under different conditions (most other types of tea), smoked, etc.

You can't add milk to chamomile "tea" (or herbal teas that may have it or something similar in it). It curdles the milk, so you get a bunch of milk solids floating around in your cup.

I tried it out for about 90 minutes, trying to see what it could and couldn't do, and from the standpoint of interacting in a conversational way, or writing a good facsimile of intelligent-seeming human text it is a long way off. It is quite impressive in what it can process, but the output is not going to render human writing obsolete any time soon.

The key would be to ask it to tell a few more stories with largely the same scenario (you could put them in a different place, choose two similar characters etc.). Because, let's face it, that really isn't a great story--in a word, rather "formulaic"--but we are surprised that it can generate anything like a story at all. So, the fact that a computer can be programmed to follow a different sort of formula than we normally see isn't that surprising once we realize it is just a formula.

Most of war in a nutshell.
