What happens when artificial intelligence becomes so polished, so persuasive, and so effortless that we stop questioning it?
In this thought-provoking session, based on his book Promptism , Sune Selsbæk-Reitz explores a subtle but powerful cultural shift: our growing tendency to treat machine-generated language as if it were knowledge. As tools like ChatGPT produce fluent and confident responses, it becomes increasingly easy to mistake coherence for truth.
The session introduces the concept of promptism — the quiet habit of accepting AI-generated language without critical reflection. It unpacks how this “fluency trap” shapes our perception of credibility, often masking gaps, inaccuracies, or fabricated information.
Moving beyond the technology itself, Sune examines how generative AI is reshaping the way we think, read, and make decisions. As AI becomes embedded in workplaces, education, and everyday life, the real challenge is no longer speed or efficiency — but preserving judgment, skepticism, and intellectual responsibility.
Rather than offering superficial productivity tips, this webinar calls for a new kind of literacy — one grounded in critical thinking, ethical awareness, and a deeper understanding of the limits of machine intelligence.
Blending philosophy, cultural insight, and practical relevance, this session is ideal for professionals navigating the evolving intersection of data, AI, and decision-making.
In a world filled with confident machine-made answers, Promptism is a powerful reminder: the ability to question, interpret, and doubt remains fundamentally human.
