And hence why so-called "Artifical Intelligence" is not actually 
intelligence of any kind. It's simpl;y a computer program doing what it 
has been programmed to do. It does NOT "learn" and it does NOT "think", 
and it can never do either of those things.

Not really. ChatGPT has numerous issues as well.

When it comes to the uselessness of "AI, you just have to look at the 
absymal images that it creates - people with three hands, buildings 
floating in mid-air, ...

The really scary part is that morons are trusting this garbage to do 
important work like medical diagnosis and supposed self-driving cars!!
