I am being driven slowly insane by this continuing "surprise" about the fact that "AI" can't possibly do what people expect it to do because that is not what it is designed to do. It doesn't know anything! It doesn't reason! It really is just "spicy autocomplete."
...the US Food and Drug Administration, the division of HHS that oversees vast portions of the American pharmaceutical and food system, had unveiled Elsa, an artificial intelligence tool intended to dramatically speed up drug and medical device approvals.
...
Six current and former FDA officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal work told CNN that Elsa [AI] can be useful for generating meeting notes and summaries, or email and communique templates.
Oh, and don't say please and thank you when asking AI questions. That just takes up more bandwidth, energy, water to analyze the request.

Recent AI reviews.
I saw today that AI was considered an unqualified success because it could get five out of six upper level math questions from math competitions. That's about the same score I got when I took that test in high school. We had a couple guys that graded out higher than that. How come nobody is talking about how smart and what a success I am? How come the smart guys don't run the show? It's all spin. All the people that program AI know is programming. They don't know how to teach it to think.
