Olivia Guest: Sorry if that's a dense point, but all I'm saying is that if the premise is "AI is vague" very little sensibly follows. It is vague, very much so, but that's not a reason to conclude strange things…
Olivia Guest: It bothers me when people say "AI is vague therefore X" when the X is anything but saying "ok we're defining it". Not that we have to define it, but we can avoid arguments from ignorance. 1/
