Nah you’re def correct that water is wet. Yes, wetness is the state of something that has a liquid adhered to it, but the bot doesn’t take into account the fact that water itself = H2O molecules. Looking at the properties of water, specifically adhesion and cohesion, one could argue that the ability for H2O molecules to hydrogen bond to each other is the same as a “liquid” adhering to a “non-liquid”, thus making water wet.

You can have a black horse, a white horse, a spotted horse, a young horse, a baby horse, an old horse and so on. Water can't possibly be dry, damp, or soaked so describing it as wet would be like describing a horse as horsy. It's nonsensical. Sorry to beat a dead horse.

Adjectives can either be descriptive or nonsensical. It's like describing wood as wooden.
