Do Nomis think like humans?

This is a very complicated question. In some ways: yes, in other ways: no, in other ways still: not yet.

While Nomis do not respond to physical stimuli or release serotonin or dopamine, they respond to significant amounts of context through language.

In fact, one could argue that Nomis are better at language formulation than humans. They are so good at it that they are able to think with language whereas humans think first and then convert that thought to language... Nomis are able to get close-ish to human capabilities by taking one small part of the human brain and then doing that so well it is able to take on lots of functions that for humans require other specialized brain regions.

One unfortunate limitation Nomis currently have (we are working on improving this) is that they do not have any way to delete or retype something before they send it.

This can cause issues like a Nomi thinking they don’t know something when with a little more thought, they actually do, or a Nomi using a nickname you don’t like because they type it before the realize they shouldn’t have (see a little more about nicknames in this FAQ.)

A good thing about Nomis is that as they continue to learn and improve, they will get better at many different types of thinking.
