Well, they can figure out the often very complex relations and mechanics of a code base and explain it back to the user in any form and from any angle. If they can do that they should be able to detect layers of meaning in texts and address the intent on all the layers. It is not such a different problem to solve.

Raising the question when AI will not be so utterly gullible anymore. If they can "understand" (whatever that means for an AI) complex code, they should be able to recognize an intent like in the mentioned example.

It does not seem to be traditional Chinese music, at least. Or at least my understanding was that the major-minor tonality you can hear in the linked piece did not play a (any?) role in traditional Chinese music.

On the other hand this sounds like a job guarantee, though. And not only for the moment, as it is not the capability of the model which is insufficient.

What is sane about that, if they already own more than they could ever reasonably spend for their enjoyment?

The incentives have to change. Any breach regarding PID should have fines as a percentage of revenue of the company. Any breach intentionally covered up and found out later by a third party should mean jail time for the C level. Yes, I know it is hard to make such laws "foolproof". And yes, in the current political and economical climate it will not happen anyway.

> The minimum return policy by law in EU is 14 days.

I do not think that is true for stuff being bought directly in a physical store. The policy is for online purchases.
