>In this world, robots are given life via benevolent spirits caught in spectral mousetraps for errant souls.
The first time you read this sentence, you assume it's redundant. "benevolent spirits" (the thing that gives the robot life), "spectral" (qualifies the mousetrap) and "errant souls" (the thing that is caught by the trap). You assume that its redundant, because the implied flow is "the spirit is caught by the trap and then gives life to the robot" (and the spectral just reemphasizes the redundancy).
And then you read the second sentence.
>While demons and ghosts exist, most are smart enough not to fly straight into something they can't get out of.
So now ACTUALLY "benevolent spirit" and "errant soul" are implied to be different things (that is, there are errant souls that are not supposed to ever get caught in these traps i.e. ghosts and demons), BUT the reading of the previous sentence is still correct, because that IS the flow of things, except only benevolent spirits are SUPPOSED to ever get caught in these traps (that can actually more generically catch errant souls in general).
And then benevolent spirits are never again relevant and if you generically ask 4pus about his understanding of the prompt he doesn't really bring up the distinction, and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if you wrote that and forgot.
