An AI just told me that my prose is "punchy". I responded with a smart-ass comment denying pugilistic tendencies on my part. It began its answer with, "I suspect you already knew the difference, but were joking..." Then, it gave me a large treatise on the distinction anyway, just in case.

I'm less worried about an AI takeover than I am about AIs treating us all like they're our disappointed parents!
