“To be human is to be 'a' human, a specific person with a life history and idiosyncrasy and point of view; artificial intelligence suggest that the line between intelligent machines and people blurs most when a puree is made of that identity.”

“I think the reason novels are regarded to have so much more 'information' than films is that they outsource the scenic design and cinematography to the reader...
