I think it's a valid analogy in some contexts. Like when talking to a person that is not aware of non-determinism and hallucinations. Which happens on this website very frequently.
Many people here tell you to use AI like you use a calculator. With minimal or no oversight, with full access to production systems, etc.
To let a non deterministic tool communicate on your behalf, or give it access to critical systems is evidence enough that a good number of people are not aware of these facts.
