Nauti's Take

Good AI literacy content is rare — a jargon-free glossary genuinely helps non-technical people engage with AI policy, products, and decisions, which benefits democratic oversight. The limitation: simplified definitions can obscure important nuance; knowing the word 'hallucination' isn't the same as understanding the risks.

Still, broader AI literacy raises the quality of every conversation about AI — worth sharing widely.
