You’re right. the cadence is written by ChatGPT. I’m pretty terrible at keeping my thoughts cohesive, so I often use it as a post processor. I’ll try not to do that.

Because you had the decency to respond, I’ll spent some more time thinking about this and see if I can come up with a more well rounded response that incorporates more of the traditional language of physics. But to your point about entropy not being a “force”, you’re probably right. Someone got to choose what that word means, and I’m probably not using their definition. But let me ask you this… would you rather have a book that explains everything and not know how to read it, or trust your own eyes ears and hands, and not be able to share it?

Maybe use AI to help you understand TFA instead of writing gut reactions to the title.

Words have meanings. You can look them up and learn them.

If you're not willing to do that, then you should probably not try to participate in a technical discussion where the meaning of words is arguably paramount.
