The current idea that chatbots are "AI" and claims that computers can now truly think is a reflection of the imbalance between rapid technological progress and the widespread lack of scientific literacy. In the past, people fervently believed in demons and UFOs. Today, it's AI.

– Bare tanken på at politikere kan tenkes å stole på KI, er ganske skremmende

As a computer user I couldn’t agree more. As a lecturer in social informatics and fan of Sagan’s baloney‑detector: forced so-called "AI" risks cognitive overload and legitimacy loss. Perhaps prioritise controlled, user‑centred evaluation before widescale rollout?
