As Sam Altman said, "๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐ถ๐ค๐ช๐ฏ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐ด, ๐ช๐ต ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฆ๐ค๐ฉ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฏโ๐ต ๐ต๐ณ๐ถ๐ด๐ต ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ค๐ฉ." This reminds us that while AI can generate answers, ideas and even code, it can also make up facts with confidence.
It's like a genius that sometimes dreams instead of thinks.
We know this, yet we often forget. We get amazed by how well it writes, answers, or codes, and we start trusting it like itโs always right. But the truth is, even when AI sounds confident, it might be giving you a fake source, a made-up fact, or a logic that breaks down when you look closely.
Sometimes, it even argues both sides of a topic without realizing it's contradicting itself. It can simulate emotions like empathy or urgency, but it's not feeling anything, it's just predicting patterns based on data.
We forget that AI can invent fake research papers, confidently tell you something that doesnโt exist, or carry over strange biases hidden in language. These are not rare glitches, they happen more often than we think, just in subtle ways.
Whatโs even scarier is how much people are starting to trust it without question. The more polished it sounds, the more we assume it must be right. That blind trust is dangerous. When we stop verifying, stop questioning, and let AI take the wheel without oversight, we risk building decisions, opinions and even systems on foundations that might be flawed or completely fictional.
AI can take us far, but only if we stay awake while using it. It's a guide, not a truth-teller. The goal isnโt to avoid AI, it's to avoid blindly trusting it.
