At this point I wonder if AI's get updated just to recognize and deal with specific tests like this.

In comparison to solving the root issues, it's gotta be easier to add a few extra lines of code to intervene if someone is asking about walking or driving to the carwash or wanting to know how many "r"'s in the word strawberry.

I wonder if AI is the opaque interesting tech it says it is, but also it's thousands of extra if statements catching known/published/problematic/embarrassing inconsistencies.

Anyone here work for any of the big AI companies? Is it just one big black-box, or a black-box with thousands of intervention points and guard rails?
