This kind of AI is, in essence, a very lossy compression scheme and search engine. Imagine a jpg or mp3 encoder set to maximum compression. You end up with something that's significantly changed.

AI compresses all the data it's "trained" on and then it reconstitutes that, filling in the artifacts with random slop that sounds or looks somewhat plausible to humans. But it's ALL fucking noise. There is nobody behind the curtain.
Alas, most of the stuff humans express is also noise but we mostly have to be polite to one another for our society to function.
We don't have to be polite to stupid algorithms that are merely reflecting back to us our own uniquely human idiocy.
