I really think that an AI license would be the best solution, at least for school kids but ideally for everyone in a professional context. Operating an AI is very different than operating a computer as the former can cause real damage to the tech-"illiterate".

Talking to AI can't cause real damage any more than talking to a person can. And talking to a person can do worse. So you'll want a license for that, which is awful.

  Of course a license isn't the solution to the main problem itself. The problem is, some people are under the assumption that AI is technology and technology can't ever be wrong and if it's wrong it's the fault of someone else.

    Are those significant numbers of real people or do you just imagine they exist to make you feel superior? From what I've seen, non-technical people generally see AI as usually wrong. They laugh at it not knowing how many fingers to draw on a person, for instance. Just today, I heard DJs on a local radio station using ChatGPT to write recipes. They had a laugh at the silly things it came up with and concluded that we don't need to worry about AI taking our jobs yet. I think people have a greater weakness for trusting other humans. The world is full of people who do destructive things to themselves and others because they trusted confident liers or other believers who had themselves been fooled. Even on a small group level, people tend to favor ideas from those with higher social status rather than evaluating the ideas themselves. AI not being a respected human wouldn't have that social power.

  And yet, different governments are regulating social media (and to some extend the wider internet). Not that this is necessarily a good thing, but we have seen in the last few years what can happen if people believe everything someone says on some social media channels.
