FAQ
Does this guide say AI systems have feelings?
No. It helps readers translate feelings-language into observable mechanisms and safer wording.
Why not ban anthropomorphic language entirely?
Metaphor can help readers understand workflows, but responsible writing marks the metaphor and returns to sources for factual claims.
What should I say instead of "the AI felt confused"?
Try wording like "the assistant showed uncertainty" or "the available context did not support a confident answer."
