Honestly, a good long think about the verbs in your life is just a fantastic brain-cleaner; highly recommended. Spend a day being hyper-aware of the verbs.
Verbs slip by; people focus on the nouns. So the lie is often hiding in the verbs. ...It's fascinating; I'll post some examples later (maybe).

Similarly -- Don't allow it to be said that AI "painted" an image; it does not paint. Nor did it "create". (It's also not "thinking...", even if its programmers love to put that word on the screen.)
I know I'm yelling into a storm here, but the words do matter, especially verbs. Verbs are key.

Being able to read something and *not* interpret it in the least charitable possible way, is a skill.
A skill that atrophies if it is never used.
This is why you do not want to argue with Nazis, and instead violently repel then from your spaces: they delight in bad faith.

I saw your main post and the very first thing i thought of was diving, yeah. Classic fine-to-dead-in-30-seconds stuff.
dRiving is another area loaded with the slippery edges of this pit -- a fact I think about every time there's a new "autonomous" feature.
