Why doesn't it just edit files like it normally does?

Haha. Yes.

But it does everything the most probable way, according to all the stack overflow it has swallowed.

Sometimes that way makes sense. Sometimes not.

Because efficiency is never the point. All gimmicks of "artificial intelligence" throughout history is how automatons do things the way humans do it, with human interface. The mechanical turk, the robot maids of the 70s, etc.

The mechanical turk, the robot maids of the 70s, etc.

Yes.

But I'm a little sad that I still can't buy a robot maid or butler.

I figured they would exist by now, for about the price of a vacuum.

I'm not demanding that they actually be any good. We could just program them to quote "The Jetsons" and do some simple vacuum pathing, or deliver a tray full of drinks.

Failures are making occasional news, but bots are getting better at walking. Doing useful tasks will be a few more years, but I think it's coming.
