Great job not falling into the trap of connecting "source" and "sorcery"! That one got me at first.

Sorting can be a type of sorcery so this tracks for sure

Yes, 100%! I think if I spent another hour on this, I would have integrated Maxwell's Demon in there.

Last weekend i made bibimbap for everyone (bday party 3X over here) and I couldn’t (wouldn’t?) have done it without AI. I’d just think of another side dish I wanted to make—bibimbap has all these pickled side dishes to add to your bowl—and I’d chat up my little friend and him/her would tell me how to make it. Also the beef bulgogi, also the purple rice

I didn't think "sorcery" and "sorting" had any connection before this. Might they also be connected to similar sounding and meaning words like "seer"?

In this case, "seer" just comes from "see", which has a different root word... but I like where your head is today. Even etymological dead ends like that are interesting!
