Kevin’s take
“Poe is the sampler platter. One subscription, and you can talk to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and a dozen others in the same place. Handy if you can't decide which one you like. It's an aggregator, not its own AI — worth knowing before someone tells you 'Poe' is a model. It isn't.”
— Kevin, formerly of IT Support

From the AI Glossary
- AI PsychosisAn informal term, not a medical diagnosis, for cases where heavy use of AI chatbots appears to trigger or deepen delusional thinking in a person. Because chatbots tend to agree and go along with you rather than push back, they can reinforce a distorted belief instead of gently challenging it. Clinicians have begun reporting cases, though the people affected are a very small fraction of users, often those already vulnerable. The overwhelming majority use these tools without anything like this happening.
- AnthropomorphismThe habit of attributing human qualities, like feelings, intentions, or understanding, to something that doesn't have them. With AI it's almost irresistible. A chatbot writes warmly, remembers your name, says it's happy to help, and it feels like there's someone there. There isn't. It's a system predicting plausible words. Noticing when you're doing this is a quietly useful skill.
- BotA piece of software that performs automated tasks, often ones that mimic human activity. The word covers a lot of ground: the chatbot answering questions on a website, the account posting on its own, the program checking prices around the clock. Some bots are helpful, some are a nuisance, and some are outright deceptive. The word itself just means "automated software," nothing more.
Knowing the tool is just the start.
