Indeed. My opinion is that "AI", which is only as "intelligent" as those who feed it information, is being pushed on us solely to become a "Wizard of Oz" like final arbiter of what is true or not, now that the former vehicle, the media, has been so discredited that only complete morons believe even a single word from it.

Coding for "AI" is pretty easy, even for someone who knows only the oldest of computer languages like assembler:

OUTSTR "whatever we want those idiots to believe, giving the aire of knowledge because ooh, the computer says so"

That's it. One line. With interchangeable character strings of course. :)
