   AI ... isn't.  Intelligence, that is, artificial or otherwise.   
      
   It's simulated intelligence.  Simulated more or less badly.   
   Sometimes seems to give intelligent responses, but prone   
   to wildly ridiculous outputs, like the Google AI recommending   
   drinking urine, or the A"I" generated scientific papers and   
   legal briefs that had entirely fictitious references.   
      
   On the whole, there's no more intelligence there than in   
   the old 1970s vintage Eliza program.  It's just more elaborate.
