Noam Chomsky on Artificial Intelligence
"The human mind is not, like ChatGPT and its ilk, a lumbering statistical engine for pattern matching, gorging on hundreds of terabytes of data and extrapolating the most likely conversational response or most probable answer to a scientific question. On the contrary, the human mind is a surprisingly efficient and even elegant system that operates with small amounts of information; it seeks not to infer brute correlations among data points but to create explanations.…Let's stop calling it ‘Artificial Intelligence’ then and call it for what it is; it is ‘plagiarism software’ because it doesn't create anything, but copies existing works of existing artists, modifying them enough to escape copyright laws...”.

One of the best distinctions I've read in the scam known as AI. If no one has already done the work and posted it on public-access internet it isn't considered.
