Comment Below is probably the shortest story featured on IFSA thus far. But the story itself is anything but inadequate. It delves into a question that have puzzled computer scientists since the 1950s: how human can a computer be?

In Comment Below, the answer is 'yes', in more ways than one.

With artificial intelligence being the next bog thing in tech circles, industrialist are looking at its applications in the next wave of the past successive industrial revolutions - tentatively called "IR 4.0". But what about its application onto the other side of the human condition - aesthetics and beauty - may they be in the form of words, sounds or sights?

Can robot be truly creative? To create, and even appreciate, beauty? Because that would truly be revolutionary!

Humanity has always pride itself of it's position in nature. We have been preconditioned by society to see ourselves as special, unique, or chosen. How about non-human animals? How much can we identify ourselves with them? Even considering the lack of communication and understanding. David Armstrong's short story is about bridging that gap...and the ethical consequences thereof.

How much are animals like us, and how much are we like animals?

Now, this topic might be controversial to some, but be that as it may, it currently provides the best explanation to how all life on Earth are the way they are. Note that we use the word "currently", as the theory of evolution through natural selection is ever changing with every new evidence discovered: fossils, taxonomy, genetics.

It is quite poetic that one of the most controversial theories in science also goes through the process of evolution. Maybe we'll cover how the idea changed since Darwin, but for now, we must first understand how it works.
