Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.

Patel: AI Art Is a Glimpse Into a Transhumanist Future
“You're getting a glimpse just from these, like, early images of how cool and beautiful the things AI makes or helps us make will be. Just imagine this scaled up, like, a hundred X, a thousand X, integrated into all our senses, maybe even into our minds integra…”
