AI still doesn't actually exist. Weird how you claim it's been around fifty years... It hasn't. At all. Ever. That is the ELIZA effect, which is distinctly NOT "AI".

You're still right in that it is effectively a joke being played on the world, though.

    Yes, ‘Artificial Intelligence [AI]’ was literally conjured as a marketing term with the motivation of seeking funding.

    Just because there’s a label invoked to encompass an area of research, doesn’t make it legitimate. There’s plenty of pseudoscientific fields that practitioners believe are worthy, like economics or cryptozoology.
