You may not have photographic memory, but dozens of flesh and blood humans do. Are they "illegal" to exist? They can read a book then recite it back to you.

Can't believe I have to point this out to you but machines are not human beings

[–] MangoCats@feddit.it -1 points 5 hours ago

Point is: some humans can do this without a machine. If a human is assisted by a machine to do something that other humans can do but they cannot - that is illegal?

Those are human beings not machines. You are comparing a flesh and blood person to a suped up autocorrect program that is fed data and regurgites it back.
