My ultra-religious mother “heard from someone” that AI “is the devil” so she wouldn’t use it. That’s great. Unfortunately, it made her really scared of everything. She was super anxious because AI was in the news all the time.

I really don’t want her to use AI, because she already has such a hard time distinguishing fantasy from reality. But, I still had to try to explain to her that LLMs are just fancy auto-complete, and how often they get things wrong to reduce her stress level. I hope she continues not to use them, but now I hope she just shakes her head and sighs when someone else uses one, instead of thinking they’re letting evil into their bodies.
