The fact that “artificial intelligence” suggests any form of quality is already a paradox in itself ^^. Would you want to eat an artificial potato? The smokes and mirrors should be baked in.

I would eat artificial meat(*) so I think it is all a bit context depending. So I don't agree with you on the paradox there. But I do get where you are coming from, artificial potato (it is actually beef!) sounds weird.
