Reading is not trying

A drawn doorway beside an open paper doorway with a terracotta sphere at its threshold.

I asked my AI assistant what a website did. It read the text and called it a blog. After I asked it to open the site in a browser, it found an interactive terminal.

Trying the commands clarified things further: the terminal opened articles, music and a game. The development tools described in the articles ran elsewhere.

Next time an assistant says it has inspected something, I’ll ask what it read, what it saw and what it actually tried.
