People who dismiss AI seem like they must be dumb to me.
There's no way a person can read and understand every book. AI can at least read them all; understanding is a bit harder to claim but go ask ChatGPT about things and it's probably not far off the mark.
It's important to realize two things. First, that reading a book and performing a complex algorithm transformation on the symbolic text of a book are two entirely different things. Second, "AI" can only do the latter of those. A computer can't do semantic analysis of a text, so it can't read. It's only sloppy use of language (Hey! Semantics again!) that allows people to claim that it can.
ChatGPT is in fact wildly off the mark, constantly. ChatGPT is a -------- engine. Just like every other large language model; and in fact like small language models as well. It generates text that is superficially similar to something that seems legit to your average human. If you have it write on a subject in which you have any amount of experience or expertise, you quickly come to find that what it's spitting out bears no resemblance to reality. Something that is superficially convincing to laity but obviously wrong to the knowledgeable is the very definition of --------.

The plague is already in most Southwestern US states. Prairie dogs and armadillos are carriers for it. But antibiotics can cure it.
