Stop pretending #language is intelligence.

Don’t confuse plausible text generation with real #understanding.

Fluent answers feel smart, even if—especially when—they aren’t.

Knowing what #AI can do is cool, understanding what it simply can’t is smart.

They read, remix, and generate text.

But their power is linguistic, not cognitive.
