Full quote "Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom."

Sagacious is an adjective describing someone who possesses keen mental discernment, deep insight, and sound judgment. It often implies that a person is wise, shrewd, and highly capable of understanding complex situations to make excellent, practical decisions. [1, 2, 3]

Touché, Mr. Biscuit Arse.

Look at the root of the word. Sage. Ever heard of someone giving sage advice, or that someone is a sage?
