For 100 years we’ve had machines that can do math
Then we made a new kind of machine that can do words

People will always nitpick until we have perfection, just as we did (and still do) with math machines.
Even I swallowed one despite actively looking for incorrect statements and posting its responses to friends in a discussion about its capabilities (my friends also swallowed it).
