artificial
Meaning
The term "artificial" refers to something that is made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, often implying a lack of authenticity or naturalness.
💡 A common mistake is to confuse "artificial" with "natural"; remember that "artificial" specifically denotes human-made alternatives.
