The AI Fix #82: Santa Claus doesn’t exist (according to AI) – January 2026

Author/Source: Graham Cluley See the full link here

Takeaway

This article talks about how AI chatbots can give answers that are technically true but not always helpful, especially for children. You’ll learn why AI needs to understand more than just facts to interact better with people.


Technical Subject Understandability

Beginner


Analogy/Comparison

Giving a child a factual answer about Santa from an AI is like giving them a dictionary definition of “joy” instead of a happy experience.


Why It Matters

It’s important because AI is being used more often, and if it doesn’t understand human feelings or social situations, it can give unhelpful or upsetting responses. For example, an AI telling a child Santa isn’t real can spoil their childhood belief.
