MAN-MADE – – – SYNTHETIC – – – ARTIFICIAL

I was in an auto parts store the other day to get a belt for my van.
I happened to notice on the counter mat, advertisements for synthetic oil.
Recently I got advice to not use synthetic oil blends in my bobcat hydraulics.
So, the ad on the counter caught my attention.
I told the employee,
“I have a problem trusting synthetic oil—it makes me think of artificial intelligence.”

What’s real anymore ?
You’ll find my answer to that question in many articles on this site.
