Least concern

How do I control if I am strengthening chest muscles or shoulder muscles when weightlifting??

If I want to strengthen both the shoulders and the chest do I need to do separate exercises to strengthen the chest that are not shoulder strengthening exercises?

If I want to strengthen all chest muscles then do I need to do different exercises for each chest muscle?

Now there was a game called black and white which was a deity simularatot and the deity could control one of three animals either a cow, a monkey or a cat

Now you can train them to throw different items including their own poop & there was a "bug" in which they became poop obsessed

But I ask you was that really a bug or was that a natural feature of either artificial intelligence in organic form such as hypotheically Pajeet & or Pajeet programming artificial intelligence?

@petra @WandererUber

If you are claiming that artificial intelligence is limited to have the same IQ as Pajeet then could it be that someone wanted to design artificial intelligence using organic materials and created Pajeet
