In addition, you need to explain (if I have understood you rightly), that "the AI" is not referring to the hardware, but the software. I think that many people would not understand that, and consequently will dismiss your counter-example. In addition, it would help a lot if you could provide one or two examples of people who have said that AIs are immaterial. | |

| Sep 4, 2023 at 18:55 | comment | added | Loren Pechtel | @Corbin "Artificial intelligence" can refer to both the field of study and the product it produces. We aren't to the point where we can produce something that would reasonably be considered to have a mind. And I say "many" because it's a subjective definition--while it obviously must have hardware it need not have specific hardware. | |
| Sep 4, 2023 at 13:48 | comment | added | haxor789 | @Corbin An artificial intelligence is an intelligence that is artificial. You'd usually expect that to be phrased as "an entity having an artificial intelligence" but given that this is most often connected to computer where the "entity" is rather irrelevant, it's usually abbreviated as artificial intelligence and that is what the field of study is occupied with. So at least that part is not incorrect or insufficient. | |
| Sep 3, 2023 at 16:33 | comment | added | Corbin | "Many" is a weasel word. "An artificial intelligence" is incorrect quantification; artificial intelligence is a field of study, not a class of things. No evidence is given to substantiate your syllogism. Finally, arguments from authority are incomplete; we may always rephrase our question as a direct query to any particular authority, interrogating their evidence. | |
