AI Is Notstudentsdevelopersethics

AI is not always right

It can be wrong - very convincingly.

The myth

“AI said it, so it must be true.”

The reality

AI doesn’t verify facts. It predicts what a helpful answer should look like. That means it can be wrong while sounding confident - especially when:

  • the question is ambiguous,
  • the topic is niche,
  • or the prompt is missing context.
Analogy

A suit doesn’t make advice correct.
Presentation isn’t proof.

Takeaway

If it matters (money, reputation, safety), verify with sources or tests.
