Of course, silly me - it would magically open a portal to Superland and then the copiers would all become David Crystal

I mean, just because it might be an autocomplete that's run a bunch of iterations still wouldn't mean it was 'aware' of anything. This guy sounds like he thinks that if a photocopier prints out Hamlet enough that it actually understands Shakespeare

How have I scrolled this far in the thread and not seen Thomas Chatterton Williams mentioned

A common thread for loads of the people here is that they're wildly obtuse, and treat that as being 'fair-minded'
