Hi Kent,

Well, i just finished a "probe" of the new tuned for programming beta Ai in Resharper, where i said:

create a c# list of type <string,> for all members of the hominid species extinct and living.

followed by: comment the list with name of family

followed by: make the list into a dictionary<species, family="" name="">

and, the AI spake thus:

Dictionary<string, string=""> hominidSpecies = new Dictionary<string, string="">
{
{"Homo Sapiens", "Hominidae"}, // Modern Humans
{"Homo Neanderthalensis", "Hominidae"}, // Neanderthals, extinct
{"Homo Erectus", "Hominidae"}, // Extinct species of archaic humans
{"Homo Habilis", "Hominidae"}, // Extinct species of archaic humans
{"Homo Heidelbergensis", "Hominidae"}, // Extinct species of archaic humans
{"Homo Naledi", "Hominidae"}, // Recently discovered species, extinct
{"Homo Floresiensis", "Hominidae"}, // The "Hobbit", extinct
{"Pan Troglodytes", "Hominidae"}, // Common Chimpanzee
{"Pan Paniscus", "Hominidae"}, // Bonobo or Pygmy Chimpanzee
{"Gorilla Gorilla", "Hominidae"}, // Western Gorilla
{"Gorilla Beringei", "Hominidae"}, // Eastern Gorilla
{"Pongo Pygmaeus", "Hominidae"}, // Bornean Orangutan
{"Pongo Abelii", "Hominidae"}, // Sumatran Orangutan
{"Pongo Tapanuliensis", "Hominidae"} // Tapanuli Orangutan
};


that ... looks kind of "mature" to me ... i had not "primed it" by any content related to Linnean taxonomy.
