I refuse to accept that the lack of spelling mistakes and the careful use of language is evidence of AI. I can be sloppy, but I've known Real Humans to take great care with their written language.

The Dick Smith Funway books were a gateway drug for this primary school nerd. They were so simple even a parent could participate. https://archive.org/details/dicksmithsfunwayintoelectronicsv...

And The Hollowmen, which is set in the Prime Minister's Office and is made by the same team.

I use an analogy with perfect pitch to illustrate colour-blindness to those with regular colour vision.

People with perfect pitch can be played a note on a piano, and identify it sight-unseen. "That's a C-sharp", they'll say confidently. Most others can tell if a note is higher or lower than another, or can pick an interval.

Regular colour vision is perfect pitch for colours. Most folks can identify a blue or a green in isolation, but some like me can only see relationships between colours (one is "bluer" or "greener" than another).
