I mean I just think it's a bit of a stretch to call this "artificial intelligence" any more than a calculator is AI. I guess a calculator isn't learning, but it's still completely at the mercy of the human who coded it. It's not an intelligence separate from humans. It's basically a super advanced version of a programme I could have coded on a Commodore 64 when I was 12. Instead of only being able to answer a handful of questions with yes/no answers, it can understand a complex sentence and respond with one. But it's doing the same thing. Nothing special about this, nothing futuristic or anything.
