Have you never heard of Kim Peek aka Rain Man? The guy read a book an hour, tens of thousands over his lifetime and could recite any line of text verbatim and tell you what page and line number it was on, but otherwise he's what anyone would call an idiot. He couldn't dress himself or do really anything with all that information other than memorize it. He could quote any book but couldn't say in his own words what it meant bc there was no processing/understanding. Ai is kinda like that except it's somehow also bad at remembering things or getting facts straight. It's almost an accomplishment in its own right for a computer to be capable of forgetting how to do math.

Gemini, for example, is really good at accumulating information—Google is the biggest data aggregator in history after all, but it's possibly the worst Ai in terms of quality checking it's sources. I always read the Ai summary when Googling something and check the sources, it's sort of a hobby of mine at this point. I'd have to estimate I've read 400+ Ai summaries and not a single time has it not hallucinated in its response. Even the parts that it quoted directly are often not actually in the original source and the sources listed are low-credibility to start.
