It kind of irks me how many people want to downplay this technology in this exact manner. Yes you're sort of right but in no way does that really change how it will be used and abused.

"But people think it's real AI tho!"

Okay and? Most people don't understand how most tech works and that doesn't stop it from doing a lot of good and bad things.
