There's a saying that in swordfighting, the goal isn't to strike or to parry or to feint, the goal is to stick the pointy end in the other guy, everything else is just a means to that end. Well, we might not understand the modern AIs' fencing technique, we have no idea why they pick certain feints, and sometimes they collapse on the ground for no reason. But on average, they are really fucking good at sticking the pointy bit in the other guy, and that's the thing that matters. We can dislike them, we can wish they were better, we can try to improve them, but one thing we can't do is ignore them. Because sooner or later, they'll be everywhere, poorly analyzed or not.
