I know a few people with artificial intelligence.

Yes, artificial is one of those qualifiers that has to do overtime semantics and pragmatics wise. In that sense it is like organic or chemical. "Junk food is full of chemicals!" Well, in point of fact, all our food is full of chemicals. The statement means that "Junk food is full of undesired chemicals." This is the sort of thing that language excels in, and which drives some people (with small dictionaries) crazy. The funny thing is that most humor would not be possible except for ambiguity, polysemy, and mispronunciation (or punning).


Ceci n'est pas un seing.
