Edit: It's also really funny to me how quickly the goal post shifts. 2 months ago the best chat bots worked by using ML to try to figure out the intent of the user, then respond with a predefined action that may have been slightly tweaked using some sort of text generation etc.
Now, the chat bot not only responds to what I ask, but synthesizes the information and gives me an 11th grade level response. This is astounding, and I can't believe so many in tech want to dismiss the achievements of others for some imaginary utopia that is the only definition of success in their minds. Even if the AI is confidently spouting BS, it's still synthesizing the information and formulating a response, and I've met plenty of people that confidently spout a lot of BS as well.
