AI has learned to handle letters, numbers, and words brilliantly — it constructs text, interprets commands, writes code, analyzes images. But all of this belongs to a world of symbols, where a mistake usually costs nothing: “rewrite,” “fix it,” “try again.” Physical reality operates differently. Cups fall, surfaces slip, light shifts, things wear out — and a “wrong answer” can mean broken equipment, human injury, and million-dollar losses.
