Much has been claimed of the intellect of A.I., but I ran across the following quote when researching a matter involving the recent change by Google to add “✦ AI Overview” rather than the older version, which offered the matching “hits” based directly on the search string words offered by the user and offering direct URL's fort citation. What's curious about this change is that most of the AI suggestions do not offer a source by URL, which is typically an important matter for proper citation. I personally refuse to offer a source as "https://A.I." Here is the reference quote referred to above;
“No matter how you slice it, the expert consensus is that artificial intelligence does not possess consciousness. AI has no sense of time, it doesn’t experience hunger, it has no need to rest or reproduce. While it can generate words that suggest it is experiencing feelings like sadness or joy, it doesn’t actually feel anything. And any preferences or personality traits it appears to have were intentionally trained into it by its human developers“

Google has failed to satisfy proper sourcing, as if A.I. is always error-free when I know, personally, it is not.
