It's not _going_ to work properly. There is no such thing as "AI" yet
and it is an unsolved question if there ever will be.
Saying this baldly violates the new religion of the Silicon Valley
believers, but LLM bots at not AI and they never will be. They fail
both the "A" and the "I".
Imho they're artificial in the way artificial turf is. There are a limited
number of applications in which it can stand in for actual turf. In that
sense I don't think the term 'AI', which changes it's meaning with each
generation is terribly useful other than to marketing people. Bill Hicks
had some thoughts about them. I prefer the term 'machine intelligence' to
describe something that can compete with human minds. It's further away
than I can imagine but maybe not inconceivable.
