      NO. Reason: please refer to the characteristics of living things 😉

      I read the characteristic of living things, computer programs are obeying more than 6 characteristics 😉

      Really? 😯 Tell me which ones they are. You must fulfill the definition of each characteristics biologically ok, and not just justify it by the word literally because we are talking about living thing regarding to Biology 🙂

      Go on.

      AI would possibly qualify as intelligence but calling it life would be quite a stretch.

      my computer will come back with an answer when it comes in from the pub. this will determine if its a living thing or not?

      can anyone not think that software alive?

      software just like "the soul" of hardware. but it is not alive…
      you can say it is alive at others perception but in biology they are not.
