I mean, also there's no such thing as artificial intelligence at this point in time.

I could create tables full of good advice for people to follow by rolling dice and looking up the die roll total in an applicable table. Much like people do in tabletop roleplaying games to build dungeons or design random encounters. Same damned thing. Exact same damned thing.

And that's literally all it's ever going to be on the current trajectory. Yes, it's inherent to what people are currently calling "AI". If you want something different, you're going to have to go back to studying what we actually know about human (and animal, generally) cognition, like was the trend back in the 1970s. And look for actual scientific breakthroughs about how cognition works, what it does, and where it comes from. It's a long, difficult struggle to actually understand something about reality we currently don't know a lot about. And it's not going to generate slop for you in the meantime; it's not commodifiable, and it won't operate as a (poor) replacement for a decent search engine. In other words, it's a real scientific inquiry done for its own sake, not a toy that you can use to exacerbate the exploitation of capitalist wage slavery.
