An open set on purpose: a `created+ai` blend and the other non-empty subsets each mean what they say, and Anthers blesses no canonical 'counts as AI' reading of a blend — whether one clears a filter is the reader's own call, and two filters reading a blend opposite ways is a feature, not a defect.",
