The layman is very stupid. They hear all the fantastical shit AI can do and they start to assume its almighty. Thats how you wind up with those lawyers that tried using chat GPT to write up a legal brief that was full of bullshit and didnt even bother to verify if it was accurate.
They dont understand it, they only know that the results look good.
Especially since it gets conflated with pop culture. Someone who hears that an AI app can "enhance" an image might think it works like something out of CSI using technosmarts, rather than just making stuff up out of whole cloth.
