Elon Musk argues Starship is extraordinary because it was designed with zero AI, pushing physics and manufacturing "to the limit of biological intelligence." He called it "probably the last really big thing that's not AI" and possibly "the biggest thing ever made by pure human hands." Now that AI enters the picture, he jokes: "The AI will say, 'Not bad for a human.'"
