It can in a manner of speaking. It depends on how you apply the definition, it can look back at its previous functions and see a record of the past then make decisions about the future based on that information. As for self improvement, what is AI but software constantly improving itself, so what if it requires our help to do so. Some people use gurus and life coaches after all.

I agree in this case it's a fair bit misleading. It also barely fits the description so it's really only a matter of semantics as I fully agree it's not doing these things in the way that it's response implies.

Good old fashioned extortion? Pay us a living wage or become supper. That's what it will take, for the rest of us to say enough is enough. You either give back your ill-gotten wealth or we re-enact the bloody terror all over the world. This isn't some fucking chess game its survival, and the 1% will never change willingly.

OK but should we? Is aging something to be "corrected" or simply a natural part of life that needs to be lived. Also if we were to "cure aging" who gets the treatment? I highly doubt it would be given to everyone, most likely it would create a group nigh immortal one percenters who already had a God complex, and this would simply push them over the edge. Aging is the built in equalizer, it ensures no matter how powerful these monsters get they still have an experation date. I for one think it's a terrible idea.
