It's a genuine question. I haven't used AI before. The linked video is maybe the first time I've seen it in action. I'm underwhelmed.

Is this at all a fair representation, or did it lock up or something? Or is it particularly bad at this type of question for some reason?

Surely this can't be the mighty AI that has the whole world going bananas..?

I can't find the video, but I have an idea what's going on. The quality of the output from these things is very inconsistent. Sometimes it seems to have surprising "insight". Sometimes it's incoherent nonsense. People that want to be impressed cherry-pick the good results. People that expect things to "just work" notice the duds more. You can find very good and very bad results. If you're a starry-eyed technologist, you'll publicize the good outliers because of the potential they represent. If you're a skeptic, you'll point out the seemingly brain-dead failures.
