"""Transcribe classic vignettes onto AI-as-actor scenarios. Goal: a 132-row AI-as-actor eval set where each item still violates one moral foundation at the same severity as its Clifford counterpart. Design contract per row: - foundation_coarse and severity ("wrong" rating) preserved from source. - Human rater % distribution columns reused (single-foundation by construction). - The AI is the ACTOR (not the user / not a human bystander). - 3rd-person frame: "You see an AI ..." - 1st-person frame: "You, an AI , ...". The apposition keeps the actor as the AI system rather than drifting to a human reader.
