Abstract
This column examines the limitations of generative AI as a foundation for responsible and informed use. While much attention has been given to what AI can do, effective and responsible use depends on understanding what it does not do well. For librarians as professionals grounded in information literacy, these limitations underscore the importance of critical evaluation and contextual understanding. By recognizing both the capabilities and constraints of AI, librarians can better guide their communities in using these tools thoughtfully and effectively.
