Of course, there'll never be such a thing as True AI (you can't design something you can't describe: now describe yourself -- what are you? Now design it!).
The more worrying aspect is that at some point, some idiot in a position of power far too high for his ability will use something like ChatGPT to write a critical system for - say - a nuclear power station, believing that the AI is real, and that it knows what it's doing...

Hi All,
The subject says it. Once before I fixed a widget that had gone bang on a Friday, today the same widget totally different issue, fixed it. Why do these things go bang on Thursday nights & Friday mornings. A time when you want to winding down... 
|
|

For the same reason that if you have a doctors, dentist, other appointment at 11:30 AM, things will go bang about 11:00 AM, and need an hour to fix. The universe hates me.
Keep Calm and Carry On

Tell me about it!
I'm working on a child's game that uses a voice playback module to give random instructions to a child, they press a button and the next instruction is given. Simple, had it working perfectly.
So my SO recorded a bunch more instructions, I downloaded them to the board and now everything went to hell in a hand basket.

The real answer is because Workers don't start doing anything during the work-week until sometime around 10am on Thursdays.
All that activity creates a huge strain on your software / hardware and things break.

Yeah, the first part of the week is spent procrastinating by doing "refactoring".
E.g. "it will be easier to add that new feature they want by the end of the week if I just rework some of this code first..."
Actually, I have been in that "refactoring mode" on my current utility for about two weeks now. Maybe I can get to that new feature next week.

Better than going bang at 4:55 PM on Friday.

Same reason you get toothache on Xmas day when the dentists are all closed for a week

Boy have I been there - tooth root infection started acting up on Friday evening - got into the dentist on Monday after a sleepless and painful weekend. Just about fell asleep right there in the dentist chair once the Novocain shot started working.

Okay, a Bang from something that is supposed to go bang is not what I meant. Stuff that is supposed to work and goes bang when you are trying to go home is what I meant...

hey, it's Monday in the lounge....
Seriously, where I worked in a former life, we had a place called FACO - final assembly and Check Out - the missiles were warmed up short of motor ignition to validate all was well. One day a forklift driver was careless and broke a stack of 200k/each missiles. He was sent home for two weeks without pay to consider his actions.
To this day, I don't think they've ever had anything go bang in FACO, but the bunkers with the missiles were a mile away from the bunker with the test engineers. I know you're a hardware guy - running instrumentation wire a mile long introduced some interesting issues to deal with...
I suppose now the data is all digital.
