Questions & Answers about Si el humano no piensa, la inteligencia artificial gana.
I'm learning about when to use the subjunctive. Since this is a conditional "if" statement, why don't we use the subjunctive here?
Even though your current lesson uses the subjunctive for evaluations (like es lógico que), the word si (if) follows different rules. When a si clause states a real, factual, or highly possible condition, it always uses the standard present tense (the indicative), never the present subjunctive. Because this is a likely scenario, both piensa and gana stay in the indicative.
Why do we say la inteligencia artificial instead of just inteligencia artificial like in English?
In Spanish, when you are talking about a general category or an abstract concept as the subject of a sentence, you generally must use a definite article (el, la, los, las). English drops the word "the" for general concepts like "artificial intelligence," but Spanish requires it.
Could I say los humanos instead of el humano?
Do Spanish speakers use an acronym for Artificial Intelligence like we use 'AI'?
