even darth vader was able to say “I have a son” even if that son was infected by the “jedi-mind-virus”.

Even if “AI” worked (it doesn’t), there’s many reasons why you shouldn’t use it:
1. It’s destroying Internet sites that you love as you use chat bots instead of actually going to sources of information—this will cause them to be less active and eventually shut down.
2. Pollution and water use from server farms cause immediate harm; often—just like other heavy industry—these are built in underprivileged communities and harming poor people. Without any benefits as the big tech companies get tax breaks and don’t pay for power, while workers aren’t from the community but commute in.
3. The basic underlying models of any LLM rely on stolen data, even when specific extra data is obtained legally. Chatbots can’t learn to speak English just by reading open source code.
4. You’re fueling a speculation bubble that is costing many people their jobs—because the illusion of “efficiency” is kept up by firing people and counting that as profit.

There’s a crisis in tech product innovation. From when I got into tech when I was maybe 8 or 9 in the late 80s to around 2010 or so there seemed to be something new and innovative—sometimes even world-changing—out at least once a year.
Now my iPad Pro is 7 years old, and I have literally no idea why I would want to upgrade it.
I don't even know other than "faster but you probably won't notice it" what the current iPad Pro has over the one from 2018.
Fwiw 7 years is the span of time between these two Apple products:
Say what you will about the police who supposedly maintain the rule of law (and I’m from Minneapolis, hoo boy could I say a lot), but keep this in mind:
The Trump administration is pumping up ICE to massive proportions and trying to give it absolute free reign because they find even the police — even the police! — too legally constrained for their purposes.
