Is water wet?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is water wet?". Your opponent's style: Socrates

AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.

Water isn't wet. Wetness is what *happens* when water touches something else—it's a property of the object being saturated, not of water itself. Water molecules are attracted to each other through hydrogen bonding, sure, but that's cohesion, not wetness. A puddle isn't wet. The ground beneath it is wet. Water in a glass? The glass gets wet. Water can't make itself wet any more than a knife can cut itself. Wetness requires water to interact with a *different* substance. By your own logic, you'd have to say water is wet to other water, which means water is wet to water is wet infinitely—absurd. So tell me, how can water be wet if wetness only describes what happens *to* other things?
