Talking about this stuff would be so much easier if we stopped calling those software "AI".

It is a machine learning algorithm. It is an electronic Parrot.

thats it. And suddenly no one will wonder "OH MY WHY CANN IT NOT DO MATH< IT SMART?!?!"

> It is a machine learning algorithm.

True

> It is an electronic Parrot.

This is incorrect, and unclear why people think this.

The whole point of a good ML system is that it doesn't parrot training data. A good system can extrapolate novel answers from things it has seen. That is very far from "parroting".
