ML is not at fault - it's probably doing what it's trained to do. It's the marketing that makes people expect that if ML blackbox managed to do a couple of parlor tricks like distinguishing a cat from a banana and faking something resembling a human-written text, if you don't look too closely, then it's almost as good as a human brain. It's not. It's pretty much as dumb as a refrigerator (a very complex one, with many many buttons, but still a refrigerator). So you shouldn't expect too much from it, and then there's no reason to give it bad rep.
