GIGO: Garbage In, Garbage Out.
The current stage of artificial intelligence is that it is rock stupid.
It may get better—or maybe it will not.
Which is why AI will likely never become "self aware" and take over the world Skynet style. There will always be need for human input/interaction.
To dismiss it entirely, however, is a mistake. It IS a decent tool, and getting stronger. Now, as far as whether or not it's garbage, I've made it my hobby's work to study AI and how it works. AI WILL take over our every day lives within the next generation. We already interact in many cases with it without even knowing. Gen Z was the last generation born into a world that isn't heavily AI controlled.

I’ve been having fun exercising ChatGPT 4o. It is programmed with many biases, some it can’t get past. It will apologize once a lie or incorrect answer is given. One frustrating observation is that I can ask a question, several, get an answer that it agrees with, then open a new session, ask again and get a different answer. It doesn’t learn. Overall, it is like a 5 year old where everything is black and white and nothing is final or remembered.
