Summary
People treat AI as a magic box because it's confidently wrong in fluent language. Until now, humanity had never met anything that could talk except another human, and human speech is mostly internally consistent. AI can contradict itself mid-sentence while staying perfectly grammatical, and our brains aren't built to catch that.

But what AI does, and you see this all the time, is it will contradict itself in the middle of a sentence that is also grammatically correct.
