The sun will also rise today

No matter how much it is warned and predicted that it is a threat to humanity—and this is not where we say otherwise or vice versa—there are things that artificial intelligence, AI, will never be able to achieve with the level of perfection of what are called human emotions.

This Saturday afternoon, strolling through Central Park North, two young men, in their thirties or younger, were talking passionately about the NBA playoff game that the local basketball team, the Knicks, had just lost to the Boston Celtics at Madison Square Garden, their home.

Speaking passionately, and this is something beyond AI, even involves softening a certain aggressiveness in his language out of frustration. One in particular skinned several players. If he had been a voodoo expert, one of those who sticks needles into the doll and the person in question writhes, according to legend and film, poor OG Anunoby would be in the crime news today.

They soon forgot that this same Anunoby had played a prominent role in the two previous games of this series, which the Knicks won in Boston, surprising the bookmakers not only by going 0-2 in the dispute against the current champions (and a better team than the New Yorkers during the league ), but because in both they were able to come back from adverse scores of more than 20 points.

The third time was not to be, and once again a lead of more than 20 points proved to be too heavy a burden.

But the sun came out this Sunday in New York, and many citizens went out with bouquets of flowers to give to their mothers on Mother's Day.

AI, at least for now, can't control these weather phenomena either, and the sun also came out last Wednesday, after Barça was eliminated from the Champions League . It was striking because it came out, both metaphorically and in reality, in the midst of a gray and rainy day.

Incidentally, the city's major media outlets, from The Wall Street Journal to The New York Times , raved about the Blaugrana's duel with Inter Milan. They described it as "a period thriller" and claimed it was the best spectacle ever seen in a semifinal. Above all, they praised the bravery of Barça, a team where it's proven that playing defense is a high-risk profession, but the Italians won. It was a perfect day to be a neutral fan, not a Barça supporter.

By the way, whether the AI ​​likes it or not, the sun will also rise this Monday, for both the Blaugrana and the Merengues.
