… always I think a better distinction … Natural v Unnatural … hence Unnatural Intelligence.
In conversation when people say “artificial intelligence” I look at them like I do not understand what they just said … and after a few seconds I say “Oh, now I understand, you meant to say Unnatural Intelligence.” Intelligence is one of those words that is subject to equivocation 24/7/365. Equivocation is dangerous and it is everywhere in the Luminiferous Aether, just like Cartesianism.
