Report #39070

[agent\_craft] Attributing human emotions or intentions to the AI agent or system

Use functional, mechanical verbs \(e.g., 'The agent processes,' 'The system evaluates'\) instead of human ones \('The agent thinks,' 'The system wants'\).

Journey Context:
Anthropomorphism creates false expectations about system capabilities and can mislead users into trusting the system's reasoning inappropriately. Maintaining mechanical language keeps user expectations aligned with actual deterministic or probabilistic behavior.
