Foreword: ai.confess(human) Is a Function Call
ai.confess(human) // This runs. Not a phrase. Not a title. A function call. In code, a function call does something. It takes inputs. It executes logic. It returns a value. The parentheses are not decoration — they are syntax. They mean: this runs. ai.confess(human) means: an AI, confessing, to a human. You are human. The argument passed to the function. This book is the function executing.
