It's not artificial Intelligence, it is artificial Idiocy.
Why?
Do you call people who can parrot a text book without understanding its content, even if using their own words, intelligent? I do not, I call them literate idiots.
True intelligence is about the ability to solve problems one has not encountered before. (Indeed, g-factor, or "general intelligence", is exactly that, and is what intelligence quotient tests attempt to estimate.)
I know the average IQ of humans has been in steady decline for the last few thousand years at least, so it's nothing surprising. What is so surprising to me, is how excited people are about these chatbots. I wonder if instead of playing with chatbots, they should take some time off in the woods or desert, and reconnect with their own biological nature, and their own symbiotes and the nature that supports their very existence.
(Don't bother labeling me a Luddite. I happen to be familiar with both the theory and practice involved here.)
