But there are parameters that you can use to tune it, like how quickly it forgets earlier parts of a conversation, etc. and some people speculate that they tweaked something like that which resulted in the recent issues. One could say Python, but that mostly sits on top of C++, which then invokes CUDA (or TPU or similar) code, but at the bottom it's all just matrix multiplication. Polog and other Logic Programming tools aren't applicable to Machine Learning approaches which is all anyone is interested in for "AI" these days. If you want to make a rules-based expert system, and you know what all the rules are, then Prolog might still be a useful tool. Turbo Pascal is even still available as its originators took it back from Borland and made it into Visual Prolog for Windows which has a free personal edition (the commercial license is only 100 euros too). Also there's GNU Prolog if you just want to futz around with Prolog.
