Well Hobbit then you gotta believe.
Logic Theorist, aka LT, considered to be the first successful AI program, written in the '50s (yes, that long ago!) by Newell, Simon and Shaw, who are by many considered to be the founders of the field of AI, came up with a previously unknown proof of one of Whitehead and Russell's theorems in Principia Mathematica.
In addition, for some other theorems LT came up with more elegant proofs than previously found by humans.

Is that the best example you can come up with?

Not so! My wife changes her mind all the time and she’s never wrong...

Then there's the old conundrum about self driving cars. You're in yours, driving along a mountain road with a steep cliff on one side and a wall of rock on the other. You round a corner and see three hikers in the middle of the narrow road. You're going too fast to stop! The A.I. in the car has to make a decision. Keep going and hit the hikers (and almost certainly killing them), or run off the road down the ravine and almost certainly killing you.(just to muddy the waters as you're approaching the group, in the last second, you recognise one of the hikers as an escaped child killer). What does the car decide? (remembering that, apparently, the first rule of robots is never harm a human :-)

The B-9 Robot in the 1960's documentary, "Lost In Space," was capable of sadness, mockery, laughter, and changing its mind............ LOL
Hahaha! And that's exactly where artificial intelligence belongs, in a 1960s "documentary". (and if you believe Lost in Space was a documentary, A.I. is the least of your problems

When someone can demonstrate artificial intelligence that can come up with an original idea or a robot that can change its mind then I’ll believe...

All very good photos but I don’t see the one of you with your “winter drawers on”?

Just kidding. In fact it's on the aperture ring on the opposite side to 2.8.

I have that lens and I agree with the OP; it has no s/n, or if it has it's so well hidden that the average punter is not going to find it. I've used a strong flashlight and have checked everywhere that's been suggested. It's nowhere to be seen.

The diminishing bird population is a mere bagatelle. If you want to see what humanity is really capable of watch this video:

I wonder if the cavemen, back in the day, went running around bemoaning the fact that the dinosaurs were disappearing?
