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.”

![CARBON COWBOY: California’s biggest oil producer is trying to become a carbon storage company. And maybe a data center company, too.
California Resources Corporation, an energy company with its headquarters in Long Beach, is branching out as the state pushes toward a future that uses less oil. In May, CRC began injecting carbon dioxide underground in Kern County’s Elk Hills. Its goal is to store carbon dioxide emissions from its nearby natural gas power plant in a depleted oil reservoir called Carbon TerraVault One.
“We’re putting the carbon right back where it came from,” said Chris Gould, CRC’s chief sustainability officer and executive vice president. The project is “first of a kind in the state in terms of storing, permanently and safely, carbon dioxide in the [earth’s] subsurface. It’s also the first [to store it] in a depleted oil and gas reservoir, which I think is pretty cool.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:66lbtw2porscqpmair6mir37/bafkreibclhq66lbuyivvspr2fsp2s6tzptpl2uc54kjxmg5bbtmjz2sjly)
