I repeat: I'm making a weaker statement; I'm not saying that AI is
possible, I am saying that I've seen no convincing argument that it is
impossible. Unlike you and Mr. Kubo, I haven't claimed to have an
argument proving anything pro- or anti- AI. The person making the stronger
claim has the greater burden of evidence.
