A Idiocy

Artificial Intelligence is truly artificial. It is not the real thing because it can't think. All AI can do is read something without mentally decoding it as humans do. It merely sees or "takes a picture of words" and repeats it in print or a fake voice. It does not think or analyse: it parrots. I once had a mini parrot that could "speak" what I taught it, but often to our amusement, garbled up the phrases and words that meant nothing. When I have to "speak" to an AI that I am told will help me down in the little box in the right hand corner of a site page. I learn very quickly how unhelpful it is and that I will be putting a check in the box that says "poor" at the end of the session. Most of the online businesses that I deal with, have this kind of  "help". Please excuse the vast number of quotation marks here, but AI is so fake and artificial, that it is unavoidable. So many times I have asked the AI a question and it repeats over and over again that the label does not give that information. Hey, I can read the label myself. What good is an AI? I wanted to know something that is not on the label. Also, you may have noticed that AIs are so stupid that they don't understand English. You express in every way you can think of, what you are inquiring about, and it doesn't get it. Recently, my grocery delivery store decided to put not only AI on their page but also to deny me buying my groceries online until I call my bank and get them to send me a code before it will release the payment from my account. Their reason is, that it is for security reasons. That may be, but my bank doesn't answer phones and I don't receive bank calls on my cell phone. I called them to send the code to my email. The answer I got is that they are too busy in the bank and they'll call me back before the end of their day. What? That means I have to hang around all day to get the code to buy the groceries I want that day. And worse, still, I have to do this every time I need to buy groceries. I don't go out to shop which is becoming the goto for most people now. AI can't help because it is part of this robotic society that has  cell phones attached to its ears or its back pockets or its car holders. AI is not the pancea someone hoped for. Aye yi yi!
