    It just proves that there is not actual intelligence going on with this AI. It’s basically just a glorified search engine that claims the work of others as it’s own. It wouldn’t be as much of a problem if it attributed it’s sources, but they can’t do that because that opens them up to copyright infringement lawsuits. It’s still copyright infringement, just combined with plagiarism. But it’s claimed to be a creation of “AI” to muddy the waters enough to delay the inevitable avalanche of copyright lawsuits long enough to siphon as much investment dollars as possible before the whole thing comes crashing down.

      Calling anything we have now “AI” is a marketing gimmick.

      There is not one piece of software that exists currently that can truly be labelled AI, it’s just advertising for the general population that doesn’t educate themselves on current computing technology.

        Yeah I agree with this for the most part. Though I have some suspicions that some of the machine learning algorithms used by social media have been exhibiting some emergent behavior. But given that their directive is to sell as many ads as possible, and the fact that advertising is basically just low level emotional manipulation to convince people to buy shit, any emergent behavior would be surrounding emotionally manipulating people.

        Kinda getting into tin foil hat territory here, but developing AI under the direction of marketing assholes doesn’t seem like it’s going to go anywhere good.
