Questions & Answers about Kaikki työ automatisoituu, sillä tekoäly kehittyy.
How does the -oitua suffix work in the verb automatisoituu?
The suffix -oitua is attached to the root of the loanword-based transitive verb automatisoida (to automate something). It turns the verb into an intransitive one where the subject undergoes the process on its own. So, instead of automating something else, the work 'becomes automated'.
How is the word tekoäly (artificial intelligence) constructed?
It is a compound noun made of teko (an act, deed, or 'made' when used as a prefix) and äly (intelligence, intellect). You will see teko- used similarly in words like tekohammas (false tooth) or tekosyy (excuse or fabricated reason).
Could I use koska instead of sillä in this sentence?
Yes, you could say ...koska tekoäly kehittyy. Both mean 'because', but there is a slight grammatical difference. Koska is a subordinating conjunction, while sillä is a coordinating conjunction (translating closer to 'for'). Sillä is slightly more formal and cannot start a sentence, whereas koska can.
Kehittyy means 'develops', but how does it differ from the verb kehittää?
Kehittyä (which gives us kehittyy) is the intransitive pair to the transitive verb kehittää (to develop something). Just like automatisoituu, it describes a process happening to the subject on its own. Artificial intelligence isn't developing something else here; it is developing itself (or evolving).
