Making IT Count
The word “Artificial” is used in one sense when it is applied, say, to flowers, and in another sense when it is applied to light.

Sketchy AI
“Young man, you don’t think I’m encountering constructive symbolism for the first time, do you? “Unplug”: free yourself from physicality, from the vulgar earthbound physicality, from the evils of civilization, from electricity, nerves, and so on.
