Err...not sure I see much difference between what you are stating and basically every click bait site. Plus quite a few other sites. Not to mention posts by many individuals.

There's is no "one" AI. Each one is custom-tailored, by a "creator", to pursue their agenda; probably at your expense. At a minimum, it captures "you" while you're busy conversing with "it" (i.e. the "creator's" data banks).

"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

Takes me back to the "good 'ol days" as a student when we "copied" answers from a book, only to realize the answer is not working for our app needs... The AI back then were called "... 101 for dummies".

That is totally incorrect -- "AI" have no concept of anything.

There is no "intelligence" in "artificial intelligence". In simplest terms, any "AI" is just a huge, nested if-then-else.

When programming, it's up to the programmer to ensure that an if-then-else is testing the correct things, and is testing them correctly. If there is any point of failure, the results will be wrong at least some of the time.

Machine learning works by feeding it massive amounts of data, and later indicating which is correct and which is not. As has been pointed out, it gets better with training.

The problem is that it will never be 100% correct, yet people are already trusting these systems as being so. There is no discrimination, just a lot of tests that must be correct, yet can't be.

This is the point right here. They can't be trusted. Specifically, they can't be trusted to "discern" (if/else or otherwise come to a conclusion about) the difference between fact sources (historical documents, scientific studies, current events) and fictional ones.
