An image arrives with a frame. Its placement, caption and surroundings help shape the way we read it. Berger’s title offers a useful starting question for anyone working with AI: what influences our interpretation before we begin to judge the content?

An AI interface also frames an answer. A confident paragraph, an authoritative voice or an elegant chart can affect how much scrutiny an idea receives. Looking carefully means attending to the presentation as well as the claim.
A reading prompt: choose an AI-generated answer and consider how its meaning would change if it appeared as a rough notebook entry rather than a polished report. Which parts of your trust come from evidence, and which come from presentation?
For the margin
What would a reader need to see alongside an answer to evaluate it well? This is an original draft reflection prompted by the book’s themes, with no quotations or page-specific annotations.
