Indeed. Hence why I detest the term "artificial intelligence", at least as it applies to what is being promulgated as such today. These "AI" bots are nothing more than a megaphone for those who program it - the bot doesn't "think", instead it simply arranges the information given to it in a readable fashion, much like an electronic calculator performs mathematical calculations. Both "AI" and the calculator provide output only under very strict rules. The difference of course is that calculators use widely accepted mathematical rules to provide the output, while "AI" uses whatever whimsical notions are provided to it as "rules" by its programmers. The "Gemini" embarrassment underscroes this truth.

"AI" can be useful, as a calculator is. It performs its duties far faster than any human can, but it does not perform any duty that could not be performed by a human, given infinite amounts of time and energy.

My own belief is that "AI" has been given its moniker intentionally to provide it some sort of respect from those foolish enough to believe the Wizard from Oz. It will be used to disseminate unpopular edicts ("well, that's what the "AI" says we have to do") and to take blame for unpopular events ("we only did what the "AI" told us to do). Now that those in power have, interntionally or not, given up media control to brqainwash the masses (well, some of the masses), "AI" will be presented as the next "unbiased deliverer of the truth", which is the exact opposite of what it is.
