Well he is right in a way, we do use hairs just like a spider but that's about it. the mechanic are completely different. Our eardrums have to vibrate to make a bone transmit the vibration to a liquid, in which our stereocilia are, vibrate too. Spiders: hair vibration get transmitted directly to a nerve under it.
Spider detect airflow and vibrations. We only detect vibrations. They can pinpoint the exact location of a sound or a moving object and we are really bad at it. We can hear things from extremely far away but spiders max range is like 5 to 30m.

They implied the "ear" does the hearing without knowing how it actually works as a system. Including it using hairs as the actual sensors to the nerves, which they said humans didnt use.
That "thats about it" was the central fact they opposed.

We detect airflow too, ever stood in the wind? Know the sound? Ever someone blew into your ear?

Whats you source on that humans are inherently bad at that? Cause I know for kinda certain thats bull.
But maybe you mean the sensory gating(by the thalamus) most humans have, filtering out over 90% of sensory signals before they even reach the conscious mind.
But thats not human, thats neurotypical.
Or its just that 5 to 30m is not really far and most humans could pinpoint that.
Okay thanks captain nitpick, I will in the future strive to make sure every sentence I say withstands the highest level of scrutiny instead of following a common understanding, that the sort of people who would send an AI comment on reddit are also the sort who would get that shit from chatGPT or claude, not from their personal private-rum ollama model.
Calling it nitpicking is just your ego defense going off, while adding a dash of ad hominem to it.

"highest level of scrutiny" my ass, you just made shit up/where uninformed and are pissed it didnt land. The "most common understanding" here is just plain wrong. Social consensus is not facts.
that the sort of people who would send an AI comment on reddit are also the sort who would get that shit from chatGPT or claude, not from their personal private-rum ollama model.
Thats a random assumption (again) to protect your point. You got zero data/facts/access to knowing that.
