I've been keeping a record of the increasingly opinionated vocab it fixates on:

* Projection (it seems to love to describe one data structure as a projection of another)

* Strand (if some data gets isolated/stuck, it's "on a strand" or simply "a strand")

* Load-bearing (obviously)

* Frontier (the leaf on a tree)

* Quiescence (waiting for an algorithm to settle - I guess this one is legit)

* Honest (obviously)

* Residuals (any kind of data which hasn't been consumed by an algorithm)

* Rescission (something which has been rescinded; rather than saying "a rescinded offer" it enthusiastically calls it A Rescission!)

* Supersession (it's not a session which is a superset of another session... it's the word supercession; something that supercedes; similar to preferring the participle form of rescind).

I wonder how much of this is due to it mirroring proximate things to my code's own weird vocab though.

My favourite so far has been that I accused it at one point of playing whackamole by patching issues rather than getting to the bottom of a problem, and a few hours later it started to say things like "and i found mole 2 in CI" etc. For one minute I thought it was talking about the avogadro constant or backdoors or something until I realised it had committed to start calling newly discovered bugs 'moles' in its ongoing game of whackamole...
