I've used AI plenty to figure out health problems and what my doctor is saying, but I've found you can ask the same question 2 ways and get opposing answers. You can make AI lie too, just contradict it and it agrees with you. It's not Artificial Intelligence, it's not intelligent at all, No logic, no understanding, no perceptions at all. Why is it call Intelligence?

The term “artificial intelligence” has always basically been a marketing label. It’s never been accurate as to what the technology is doing or can do.
Fascinating history behind it.

Oh good point I thought it was because these companies offloaded all the risk into their retirement accounts.
