Facebook (sorry: Meta) AI: Check out our "AI" that lets you access all of humanity's knowledge.
Also Facebook AI: Be careful though, it just makes shit up.
This isn't even "they were so busy asking if they could"—but rather they failed to spend 5 minutes asking if they could.

I have no objections to performance art in general, and something that helps the general public grasp the absurdity of claims of "AI" and reframe what these systems should be used for seems valuable.

This is not the writing of someone who actually knows what #NLProc is. If you use grammar checkers, autocorrect, online translation services, web search, autocaptions, a voice assistant, etc you use NLP technology in everyday life. But guess what? NLP isn't a subfield of "AI".
