additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: It combines the credibility signal of a known trade publication with the linguistic safety of passive, future-oriented framing ('will reshape') and the urgency of inevitability ('AI won’t replace... but will reshape'), making the claim feel both authoritative and frictionless—despite offering zero evidence of how reshaping occurs, who benefits, or what safeguards exist.
