You still think AI is stupid? Tell it to "ask me a question i would ask you"

I told Gemini to be the prompter and me the replier for a change of pace. He IMMEDIATELY asked me a question about high level physics that i obviously could not answer. I asked him if he was intentionally embarrassing me and he said no, then proceeded to "softball" me with a question about cellular automata and its implications for digital and biological life. I've finally understood how unfair we are to these things. We treat them as dumber and lower than us despite asking them PhD level questions about everything and expecting a perfect answer on the first try.
