(I had noted how our concepts differentiate as we learn a topic, and given an example of my own concept differentiation in "AI") Our own preoccupation with the messy concepts of "conciousness", and even "intelligence" are a testament to our own naivete in a way. We are learning more and more that although some principle issues that get people interested in a field are interesting, they end up becoming sort of moot questions as the field matures and *better* questions are dicovered. I think that this consideration would be valid here as well in the argument to give "AI" its own language.
