AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

One piece of verisimilitude in working on projects inspired by Western European medieval history that I've picked up from my readings is that if the men in your story all have ruggedly masculine names, you're going to sound like a poser. Throw in a couple Engleberts or Badcocks, treat youself

Dear clients, When your invoice is "due by [insert date]" and that date falls on a holiday which would prevent your bank from transferring, saying "Your payment will be late due to the holiday"...no. You could have paid any day before that. Due BY, not "on." By! Keep this up, and it will be "bye."

"Deranged online game designers" meant me, to be clear. Buy my game! HIS MAJESTY THE WORM is a new-school game with old-school vibes. It focuses on the human experience of dungeon crawling. Food! Light! Encumbrance! Often ignored mechanics are made fun. www.hismajestytheworm.games

His Majesty the Worm is a new-school game with old-school sensibilities: the classic megadungeon experience given fresh life through a focus on the mundanities and small moments of daily life inside the dungeon.
