This might be a joke, but it’s making a very important point about how AI is being applied to problems where it has no relevance.

Doesn't that make it art?

Art can be a joke, a joke can be art

That's what I meant.

I can't remember who it was (I want to say Chip Lord?) but someone critical of their work asked them, "what is art?" and he answered them by putting up a display of the word "ART" in giant letters.

Yep, there's flavor text at the bottom saying exactly that:

But this isn't your standard piece of tech; instead, it is a clever parody, an emblem of resistance to the unrelenting AI craze.

CalcGPT embodies the timeless adage - 'Old is Gold' - reminding us that it’s often rewarding to resort to established, traditional methods rather than chasing buzzword-infused cutting-edge tech.

I don't know why I find it so funny that you're absolutely correct and I hadn't considered that, but it really just made my day.
