Analogy/Comparison

An AI chatbot is like a very honest, fact-checking friend who will always tell you exactly what is true, even if it’s not what you want to hear.


Why It Matters

It matters because as AI becomes more common, we need to understand that it deals with facts and not imagination. For example, the article shows how an AI could upset a child by revealing a fantasy isn’t real, because the AI is just stating what it knows to be factual.
