Remember that the polygraph still exists, now we will be dealing with a massive portion of the decision makers will treat as artificial inteligence not in the technical sense we use, but as real inteligence, maybe even super-inteligence.
I don't think that's an accurate description of what's happening here. With previous technology, sure, but the breathless overstatement of AI capabilities is coming primarily from 'technical' people who should know better.
The average person on the street is familiar with consumer-facing AI but doesn't think it's really alive/magic/the solution to everything. Our supposed best-and-brightest are the ones flogging the horse.
