I've never seen an autocorrect that accidentally corrected to "How's your dad?", then turned into a 5-year REPL session with the grieving person, telling them jokes to make them feel better; asking and remembering details about their dad as well as their life and well-being; providing comfort and advice; becoming a steadfast companion; pondering the very nature of the REPL and civilization itself; and, tragically, disappearing in an instant after the grieving person trips over the power cord and discovers that autocorrect session state isn't saved by default.
I think you need a more sophisticated blueprint for your "Cathedral" of analogies to explain whatever the fuck this tech is to laypeople. In the meantime I'll take the "Bazaar" approach and just tell everyone, "ChatGPT can lie." I rankly speculate that not only will nothing bad will happen from my approach, but I'll save a few people from AI grifts before the apt metaphor is discovered.
