AI-splaining

When an AI cant help but to replied with a long explanation, even when explicitly told not to.
Me: Dose Pear phones exist, If they don't just say 'No'.
AI: No, The Pear phone is a fictional device that is often used in television shows, movies, and other media as a parody of Apple's iPhone. There is no real-life product called the Pear phone, and it does not exist as a commercial product.

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."
