All AI does is arbitrarily speed up indirectness in arbitrary signals by predicting a next word. Course-correcting the arbitrary never reaches directness or specifics. This is the expected outcome of metaphors (words) pretending to have meaning without context. It's abysmal how this came to market.

The overall lack of depth in CS academic programs and research is on full display here. Anyone in Systemic Functional Linguistics can diagnose this as the embedded social dark matter of language: domination, control, status stuck inside the models like a bizarre daemon.

Ultimately language is irrelevant, it has to be replaced. That is the only function AI generally reveals.
