While the fish as a living system is out of normal in the error condition, it can also demonstrate amazing resistance. When glass breaks, the resulting crystals retain some kinetic energy and continue moving for some time, then, due to inertia, this movement fades to zero. During a highly challenging vulnerability rability test: ?n the “Alive” side there is a sense of fragility with so many possibilities for destruction of the complex’s system. But alongside the vulnerability there is also a super-ability for restoration, recovery and even development. On the artificial side, in contrast, we are left with a diminishing kinetic impulse. on the "Alive" side there is super-effort of restoration, recovery and even development, and on the artificial side, a diminishing kinetic impulse. According to Searle’s “Chinese Room” theory, we can call our vulnerability sensory - semantic, and AI's (non?)vulnerability syntactic. We see on the "alive" side the elasticity and flexibility of “semantics” and on the other side boundless but predetermin?d possibilities of “syntax”. Should we pose “semantic”, ethical, legal and psychological questions-to ask to AI? Shall we expect deep answers from AI, as for now, our semantic, human grounding filters are necessary and inevitable since “semantic” values ultimately determine development, creativity, discovery. Do we desire the emergence in the near future of an equivalent consciousness in AI? Do we still retain control over this dimension? Shall we increasingly prize our different vulnerabilities especially the creative ones, cultivate and test them more and more?
