To achieve this goal, the terminator had to possess good language capabilities, and one iconic scene demonstrates how much better its grasp of language was compared with the “language models” driving chatbots like ChatGPT.

As a possible consequence to the “rectification” of its algorithms, Grok turned positively “racist” with its now famous “mechahitler” rant and subsequent Holocaust denial. Every single instance of AI purported “rehabilitation” demonstrates that AI has no free will, no intent, no ability to learn properly, and, as a consequence, no intelligence. These systems are inherently stupid by design. The denial of this fact is the real problem.
