Several points here: however sad that make the the science fiction fan in me (*),

1/3) the machine *does not learn* to speak etc, it is *made* to speak etc.

2/3) Nor can it categorize (its "training" consists in categorizing things for it, precisely because it can't)

3/3) As it lacks anything remotely close to conscience, let alone self-conscience, it does not identify self-references.

(*) The occasional writer remains optimistic though.
