    I see "addictive" being an inate property.

    And then "addicting" is something which is engineered to illicit unwanted addiction from you. Like highly processed foods, synthetic opioids I think I use them interchangeably based on the context, or games/services that utilize engagement algorithms.

    A human work can still be addictive, or I guess all addicting things are addictive, but you could have a human work which is unintentionally addictive.

      I see addicting as a verb. I am addicting you to tobacco. Maybe. idk
