Not a lot of places accept American Express (and the few that do tend to do it for an increased surcharge), where many more would take a Visa/Mastercard.

It used to have all kinds of plugins, like Wolfram|Alpha, that let you do fun and silly things with it.
It’s simply gone downhill ever since.
The new Apple intelligence siri is arguably even worse. I tried asking it what the date would be next Tuesday, all I got back was “I don’t understand”.
Unintelligent Siri managed to crack that one without fault.

Bug.
The original bug was a moth in computer-relays.
Humans are squishy like bug, and behave semi-unpredictably like bug. Therefore, bug.
