AI, like some people, can talk a blue streak and seem to make sense. [View all]

However, AI doesn't really understand what it is saying on any real level. It understands some logic, but has no experience of reality.

So, relying on AI to deliver information or synthesize truth from a collection of facts is like letting a motormouthed person talk and then taking its words as good ideas.

People want to hear things that please them. If an AI agent can do that, people will do what it suggests. AI is great at giving people what they want to hear, as suggested in the prompts people provide to it.

Don't trust fast-talking people or AI. Dig down for yourself and make certain you act based on real information, not hallucinations.
