Fact, Interpretation, Meaning: Keeping the Layers Clean When interpretation is treated as fact, both people and AI amplify it. A simple experiment shows how labels like “toxic” can completely change the response.

The interpretation: “this workplace is toxic.”

Same situation. Different label. Completely different reactions.

AI amplifies the interpretation already in the prompt.
