The most obvious form of actual money in the form of the Coin made of precious metals is completely irrelevant to the existence of money proper. It is explained solely by the intention to prevent the production of counterfeit money.

Big Tech is on the precipice of ‘counterfeiting’ human beings – creating AI that passes itself off convincingly as a human being in online contexts. Even experts are susceptible to being convinced.

Should we outlaw AI designed to pass itself as human, for much the same reason that we outlaw Counterfeit Money?
