My interest in writing in creoles was sparked by a poem in Sranantongo,
A closet Buddhist | But comparatist at heart
The gas heater we used to huddle around
Mon eau, je l’aime gazeuse
Chicken in cream

AI should = algorithmic not artificial intelligence.
For one thing, it helps rid us of the silly dualism of the mind / matter dichotomy, here the illusion that human intelligence is natural. [X’d on 6.11.23]
For another, it opens the door to there bring many kinds of intelligence (< Latin intelligentum, meaning to discern, from inter + legere, to choose or pick out).
Intelligence is from the Latin intelligentum, meaning to discern or comprehend, from inter + legere, to choose or pick out, from or between. Dictionary definitions of intelligence include the ability to acquire and retain knowledge, learn, grasp truths and patterns, reason, and apply all this toward solving problems. Intelligence defined this way may include understanding, if by understanding we mean a capacity to discern relationships and appreciate connections. There is no mention here of mind, mentality, or consciousness. By this definition, intelligence does not include awareness, inner subjective experience, or sentience. If intelligence is defined in this way, then machines have become very intelligent indeed, and there is no end in sight.

In the 70s I aspired to the Montréal bilingual elite which currently attracts such hated by the Westen riff-raff and simular deplorables.
