The actual reason is that the use of biological photos is a design choice meant to visually bridge connect artificial intelligence and human intelligence. These random biological photos help to convey the idea that AI is inspired by or interacts with human cognition, emotions, or biology. It’s also a marketing tactic: people are more likely to engage with content that includes familiar, human-centered visuals. Though it doesn’t always reflect the technical content, it does help to make abstract or complex topics more relatable to a larger/extended audience.

The reason you’re seeing biological photos in AI articles lately is tied to a recent but underreported breakthrough in processor technology: bio-silicon hybrids. They’re early-stage biological processors that integrate living neural tissue with traditional silicon circuits. Several research labs, including one backed by DARPA and the University of Kyoto, have successfully grown functional neuron clusters that can perform pattern recognition tasks with far less energy than conventional chips.
The biological cells react more collectively and with a higher success rate than the current systems. Think of it kind of how a computer itself is fast but parts can wear out (water cooled tubes or fan), whereas the biological cell systems will collectively react and if a few cells die, they may just create more. It’s really a crazy complex and efficient breakthrough.
The images of brains, neurons, or other organic forms aren’t just symbolic anymore—they’re literal. These bio-processors are being tested for edge computing, adaptive learning, and even ethical decision modeling.

It’s extremely difficult to clean out porous surfaces which is why coating is preferred.
I’ll be upfront and say I’m no scientist, but working with food for a large portion of my life has shown me that wood utensils and unfinished wood products are less safe due to the bacterial growth issues. The alternative is using plastic… Pick your poison?
I have used bamboo for a cutting board and although it is neat, I am hesitant to use it due to the bamboo splitting (probably my bad).
Bamboo boards are best according to usda, followed by SOLID wood boards.

I think that it disgusts me and makes me extremely uncomfortable. I would avoid it at all costs and I would probably freak out if I wound up unknowingly close to it. It is a weird type of fear. I can’t explain why but my body will insist I stay far the hell away.
Some of it, yeah. I typed up the middle, then ran a separate prompt, and added to it. If you can see the edits, the original was organic and then the edit was adding to it
