AI-splain

When a chatbot explains something with overconfidence, unnecessary detail, or self-importance — especially when it’s answering the question you didn’t ask.
It’s like mansplaining,
but robotic…
and somehow more confident than it should be.

“AI-splain is when the chatbot answers the question you never asked with confidence it absolutely did not earn.”
“AI-splain is when AI delivers a masterclass… in Missing The Point.”
“AI-splain: when the bot is very sure of itself about something wildly unrelated.”
"AI-splaining is when AI assumes expertise over my own experience."
