Expectation vs. Reality: Why We Get AI Wrong

Are we projecting too much humanity onto tools that are fundamentally not human?

We’re asking AI to do a lot: draft content, summarize legislation, offer legal advice, even help govern. And in some ways, it delivers.

But in others?

We’re failing ourselves—not because AI is flawed, but because we’re expecting something it was never designed to do.

AI isn’t thinking. We are. And we’re projecting that thinking onto a machine.
