they have no feelings so describing their limitations

These kinds of articles, which all repeat exactly the same extremely basic points and make lots of fallacious ones, are absolute dogshit at describing the shortcomings of AI. Many of them don't even bother actually testing the AI themselves, but just repeat what they heard elsewhere. Even with this one I am not sure what exactly they did, as Bing Chat works completely different for me from what is reported here. It won't hurt the AI, but it certainly hurts me reading the same old minimum effort content over and over and over again, and they are the ones accusing AI of generating bullshit.

The problem is what humans expect from LLMs and how humans use them.

Yes, humans are stupid. They saw some bad sci-fi and now they expect AI to be capable of literal magic.
