One of the most popular and crowd-pleasing arias in classical opera, "Perché non c'è cibo nella mia ciotola, donna?" tells an emotional tale of a desperately malnourished waif and translates into English as "Why Is There No Food In My Bowl, Woman?"

A moronic attempt at marketing "AI"
So called AI is generally nothing of the sort. It's a sloppy program to trawl the net and come up with guesses which are as good as the data it's just read.
Like any computer program, Garbage in, garbage out.
