Julie's the best AI definer, as she understand AI to be a whole conference kind of process. I've never experienced that.

For me AI is a concept, that I have experienced. The idea is that questions influence their own answers, so asking questions in an appreciative manner creates a different kind of future. Asking "Do you like Chicago sports?" leads nowhere if the person isn't a sports fan. An appreciative version of the same question is "What's your favorite thing about Chicago sports?" Then the answer can be, "When the World Series comes around and the lakefront is empty, it's so peaceful. I love it when baseball fans go to the games or to the bars."

My take on it is the background behind what Julie's talking about, which is a process that she'll have to tell us about.
