    I love it.

    You know, there’s an episode of Seinfeld (do folks in England watch this, or even get the Jewish New York humor??) where Jerry and George (2 of the main characters) are pitching a comedy to the executive staff at NBC.

    George insists that there’s no plot, the infamous “Show about nothing” (which is how the real Seinfeld show as panned for several years). He refuses to back down, and later, Jerry is worried that their show will be turned down as a result.

    Giving George a hard time about it, George responds by saying “I refuse to compromise my artistic integrity.”

    Jerry immediately shoots back, “you’re not artistic and you have no integrity” (you probably have to see it to appreciate the humor.)

    Whenever I read about AI, I always think of that, and imagine someone responding, “you’re not intelligent and you have no integrity!”
