Indeed, yet many people are impressed with its ability to generate Python code from specifications given in English. Who knows? Maybe in the not-too-distant future, it could be more fluent in J. I had a friendly argument, on another matter, with it and the following is the ending:
Human: I am glad you can learn from mistakes AI: Absolutely! Learning from mistakes is a key part of my development, and I'm always striving to improve. Although maybe it was just being polite. (I did not ask.)
