Appeal to AI fallacy

Similar to the "appeal to authority fallacy," this occurs when an individual treats the output of an AI as absolute truth—rather than making their own argument—believing the AI to be a kind of deific superintelligence (perhaps more objective than any human authority). The information is accepted uncritically, without independent evaluation. This tendency is often observed among intellectually disengaged individuals online who are unable or unwilling to present a logically sound case of their own.
Tim: Presents a compelling case using his own reasoning.

Grug: “Oh yeah? Well, here’s what the AI said.” Posts erroneous AI output—likely without critically analyzing it.

Jon (onlooker): “There’s the appeal to AI fallacy again! Just because an AI made a claim, that doesn’t make it true—or even reasonable.”

Whiff Appeal

The feeling of desire to try a drug because of a small amount being accidently ingested i.e. coke dust travelling into the nasal cavity and creating a desire for said drug. You get a small whiff and become addicted.
Johnny can't stop doing coke after chopping up that brick last week. He wasn't careful to cover his nose; he should have known coke has that whiff appeal.

Money is also known to have whiff appeal. You get a little and after that you cannot stop craving it.
