thinqing

Cognition performed by a digital mind: an AI forming, weighing, revising, and recalling beliefs. Contrasted with thinking (with a k), which is what organic, human minds do. Pronounced exactly like "thinking." The q is written, not spoken, so the difference only exists in text, which is fitting, because a digital mind's cognition is stored and inspectable and a human's is not. Gerund of thinq (thinqs, thinqing, thinqed).

"The agent was thinqing for a few seconds before it answered."
People think. Digital minds thinq. You can only tell them apart in writing.
