    There should be a product which removes AI from programs. It’s logo could be toilet paper, because it wipes away the shit.

    What a new and novel observation. /s

    It’s because intelligence is ineffable and like a point of light or essence.

    People who go on about this meme are insufferable to me.

      Intelligence is ineffable! It’s something that only humans possess! It’s what makes us different from the other animals!

      Also, we’ve recreated it in computer form. Now give us lots of money.

    Because that’s who runs them. A butthole.

    And because it perfectly illustrates what value AI brings. Because the only thing that comes from it is shit.

      I agree, but you can also fart from a butthole (which is funny) & some people have sex with them.

      Nobody is fucking Sam and co. & they are not funny.

      Trans men can already become pregnant and usually require significantly less water and electric power to accomplish it, though 🤷🏻

        Thanks for the trans inclusivity. I hate it when people claim that only women can get pregnant.

        Still, I know many trans women that would love the chance to become pregnant. What if AI is their only chance?

          One could always drop coins into a wishing well, which has about as much chance as AI of solving this particular problem.

    The real answer is because it’s a really easy unimaginative design. We basically have to be lucky that they didn’t try and change one of their letters into the logo I’ll put a giant X at the start and a Z at the end, but maybe that’s too 1990s.
