If AI is built on brute force trial and error with a survival reward for the desired outcome...

Yes. It's a statistical model at base which cannot exceed its training data's capacity

It's scaffolded heavily with human code to structure lots of things as well before the model returns certain outputs. So it's a framework receiving add much work as most other electrical and mathematical systems to just reach its potential

There isn't true spontaneity even with high temperature responses and it's artificial simply because it is a downwards flowing stream of instructions than open ended and able to construct
