Sure I can have a conversation with an AI. And it will start telling me that incorrect things I mention are actually facts. And it will run with that until I either notice that is has gone off the rails or I end up with full blown delusions and my life goes off the rails. If I am depressed to begin with the AI will even happily guide me to suicide. What a great conversation. And if I ask it a question it might come back with a wrong answer and back it up by citing sources that do not exist. Why wouldn't I want this in my life?
As for image generators, that technology sucks, too. Two days ago I was goofing around and generated an image based on the face of a famous actress. It gave her pronounced freckles, which said actress does not have. There were playing cards in the picture and it rendered them with garbled letters and mixed symbols in the cards. I was nonplussed.
This stuff is mostly junk. The AI companies can come up with amazing examples of the capabilities of AI because they coded the damned things. But in the real world it's just slop, over and over.
