I have no idea. Last night I literally got AI to give me instructions on how to shave alligator hair and how to inflate a foldable phone.

AI is not actually intelligent, it's a word prediction model. It's royally ignorant actually.

Because of this, I find it basically boils down to a fancy search engine.

That's the thing though, it's not a search engine.

It's a language prediction model, if you ask something that it has learned well and predicts correctly you'll get a nice answer that makes you feel like it's a search engine.

If you ask something more obscure or confuse it with words, you'll get back garbage that hopefully doesn't look like a right answer, because it's much better to have a useless answer than a deceiving bad one.
