I think it's really lazy and am against it since it really messes things up in ways you don't want it. The only way to make what is projected in your head is to do it yourself, a robot will never understand what you mean exactly.

What I really don't like is how it just makes shit up sometimes. It sounds plausible too. It is the ultimate bullshitter.

If it can't find you an answer, it will just make up one instead of telling you it failed.
