Thinking a lot of new technologies are stupid and unnecessary. Of course, at least in big tech, lot of them objectively are.
That sounds to me like human behaviour, an AI would probably respond to each element separately. A lot of people when faced with multiple pieces of information or questions will usually respond to at most half, and often only one thing, in my experience.
Worked in a lot of service desks where I asked multiple troubleshooting related questions, getting a reply to only one of them is really common, the norm even I would say.
