Short answer (and I know that I'm not 100% factually right) artificial intelligence isn't intelligent.

It's just thousands and thousands of text and instructions on how to understand what the user is asking and retrieving this information from the database of texts. The "intelligence" is this : how well the AI is capable of gathering all info available and organize it into a meaningful way to the user.

That's why I learned to give a lot of context on prompts, to maintain conversation logs, etc. And even this way it's still common to get weird answers or even repeated ones

Yes, for beginner users, the AI may get confused because of the term "intelligence, " which creates expectations. In your video was that a bug when you were using the AI?

yep, that was the third time the AI just "nah, I'm not being paid enough" and revolted against me that day in different situations, first looping the same phrase, then sending zeros, then semicolons.

It was a Mistral LLM I'm training
