I think a lot of companies don't want to be left behind and end
up trying to do things with it that are not suited, or are not
waiting until the AI has been fully tested. All the AI providers
want to be first and don't seem to care if they are not 'best'..

MP>As I was not trying to make fire, I did not do so!

Ha.. yes, and they are running into similar problems when people ask
AI for medical advice.

4 out of 3 people can't do math...    B)
