[PolicyPhantom]

Thank you for pointing this out. The phrase “AI living among us” was not meant as a literal ontological claim, but rather as a social metaphor: how people might perceive and integrate AI into everyday life.

I agree that governance must avoid anthropomorphizing tools. At the same time, in policy discussions metaphors often serve to highlight social risks and expectations.

Your “AAA” framing (Autonomy, Ambition, Access) is an interesting lens — I see value in exploring how licensing frameworks like AIBL could act as safeguards around exactly those dimensions.
