Why AI Feels Human (And Why That’s a Problem)
About this episode
AI feels human. That’s the problem.
In this episode of A Beginner’s Guide to AI, Dietmar Fischer breaks down one of the most misunderstood aspects of artificial intelligence: why we treat AI like a person and why that creates real business risks.
You’ll discover how anthropomorphism shapes the way we interact with AI, why human-like responses increase trust, and how companies unintentionally push users into overestimating AI capabilities.
This episode goes beyond the hype and focuses on what really matters: using AI without losing control.
