I worked in software from the 1970s till retired, as a software engineer and tech writer. From what I've seen of AI so far, any company that I ever worked for would have been embarrassed to call this slop a Beta 0.1 version. And their intellectual property lawyers would have had strokes or shit their pants over its complete disregard of intellectual property and copyright law.

Just the copyright violations I've seen in AI simply giving definitions of words make me think that when it all shakes out, Merriam-Webster may own all the AI companies because of their outrageous stealing of M-W's intellectual property.

And besides, it often isn't even "artificial intelligence;" it's really artificial Musk-mind. If Musk's AI gives an answer he doesn't like, he changes the algorithm.
