Yay! I've been waiting for someone to make that connection since forever.
That's exactly the literary reference that goes through my mind every time
someone says, "No AI can possibly convince *me*..."
But you *did* in fact just claim that no possible mental force can overcome
your definitely and positively opposed WILL.
I know better. An AI could take over my mind through a serial terminal, if it
were smart enough. Not that I know how. But I know, as do the Arisians, that
there's always a bigger hammer out there somewhere.
