As an example: AI doesn't understand "no." Because the statements "no ketchup on my burger" and "ketchup on my burger" are almost identical to a machine that does not and cannot actually reason. It's only a 2 letter difference.

AI doesn't know 'no' – and that's a huge problem for medical bots

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Thisis what a government intelligence agent looks like, btw. Usually pretends to be a journalist of some kind. Posts obviously fake stuff and leaves it there even after being told not to do so. Has tens of thousands of followers. I saw lots of this type of Twitter in the past.
