When you think you just saw your Blackberry or smartphone flash (the result of a message) in your peripheral vision, so you go check your phone but to your surprise, it was just a message mirage.
Dude after I sent that risky text I was so happy to see my phone blinking, but turns out it was just a damn message mirage.

Hair problems? Just take the new street drug I invented called Mirage. It will dehydrate you until you look like you have perfect Disney Ariel bangs in the mirror while simultaneously lowering your credit score.
Karen looked in the mirror and wondered, am I actually mermaid.. what is a credit card.. look at this stuff, isn't it neat? The Mirage was not her credit score or the drug, she is looking for electricity and a mirror under the sea!

noun
Also Turing-mirage, Turingmirage
A Turing Mirage is the shimmering illusion of machine brilliance that appears when an AI seems—just for a heartbeat—to understand the world, only to dissolve into a spectacularly confused answer moments later. It’s the digital equivalent of mistaking a cardboard cut-out for a soulmate. The AI talks big, quotes confidently, and then derails into nonsense like a wunderkind with a goldfish attention span. Blame the algorithmic heatstroke.
