“If somebody had written in 2011 that this was going to be on the front page of newspapers and magazines in a few years, we would’ve been like, ‘Wow, you’re smoking something really strong,’” says Pedro Domingos, a professor of computer science at the University of Washington and author of The Master Algorithm.

你是不是吃错药了？
类似的话似乎是源于吸毒（大麻、海洛因都是“吸”（smoking)的)，吸过后很兴奋会异想天开。所以我觉着和汉语里“吃错药”的习惯表达语境很接近。

你说得太夸张
根据上下文，如果那种推测说得是好的事情，也可以说“你太乐观了！”

你都抽晕了吧
是指吸食作用很强的毒品，比喻幻觉，可以翻译为“你都抽晕了吧”/“你在说胡话吗”/ “你在做梦吧”？
