📖 Read the story
Many people use AI or chatbots today. They are like robots that can talk to us. However, scientists say AI is very different from humans. A scientist did a test with a chatbot. He showed the chatbot a pen. He held the pen with both hands. Then, he let go of one hand, but he held the other side very tight. The pen did not move. It stayed flat. He asked the AI what happened. The AI said, “The pen fell down.” This was wrong! The AI could see the picture, but it did not understand. It knows many words and stories, but it does not have a real mind. Using AI is like talking to a smart alien from space. It knows many things, but it does not understand our real world. You must always think for yourself when you use a computer. Would you like a robot friend?
