POSIWID – The Purpose Of a System Is What It Does – The Basics Guide
https://thebasics.guide/posiwid/

This principle, applicable in various domains, emphasizes examining actual results to gain insights into system functionality and inform improvement strategies.

"The program totally backfired. People thought ELIZA was intelligent, they were confiding in the machine, revealing personal issues they would not tell anyone else.

Hence #ArtificialIntelligence, often promoted to General.
The purpose of any system is what it does, not what it consistently fails to do.

The purpose of a system is what it does. There is no point in claiming its purpose is to do what it constantly fails to do.
