A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Congressperson: “Okay, so, let me get this straight. Your company has spent over 20 billion dollars in pursuit of a fully autonomous digital intelligence, and so far, your peak accuracy rate for basic addition and subtraction is... what was it, again?”
Sam Altman: leans into microphone “About 60%, sir.”
[Congress erupts in a sea of ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’, as Sam Altman is carried away on top of the cheering crowd of Congresspeople wearing a crown of roses and a sash reading, “BEST INVESTMENT”]
To be fair, that isn't what it was designed for. A competent AI would simply call up a calculator app, have it do the calculation, and then report back the result.
Might not be what it was designed for, but OpenAI claims their newest model is "PHd-levels" of intelligent. I feel like if that were true, it would do that reliably. Instead, sometimes it ignores the tool it's programmed to know how to use and just, y'know, wings it.
Which, fair, but that's my job and it's taken!
It's making mistakes and failing to think abstractly at levels previously only achieved by humans, so it's only rational to expect it to take over the world in 5 years
