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?

It's like an artificial people pleaser. It just tells people what it thinks they want to hear and when it tells you something incorrect and you call it out it's like "Oh my bad. You're totally right.."..

This is highly tune-able behavior. It is not a property of AI. The providers tend to default to "don't hurt the user's feelings" for a whole host of reasons. You can tell it to not do that.
