A.I. Have you used it?

I find it incredibly stupid and prone to errors. At best it is like working with an 5 year old who has been indoctrinated by left wing orthodoxy.

It can't catch your drift if you know what I mean. If you ask it what the medium household in come us in America, it will give it to you? But if you ask it to calculate medium household expense as a pct of income it can't.

It also never asks for clarification. It just spurs out bullshite.

To me, it is a productivity aid, sure, but it can't complete even a rudimentary project by itself.

I was trying to do a little analysis with it. First, I gave it a list of ten financial accomplishments. 1. Roof over your head, 2. own your own transportation 3. Eat healthy food. I then ask him to estimate the gross annual income needed to climb the next rung of the economic ladder.

AI can't do it. Not without prompt after prompt..

Then his responses are inconsistent and he "corrects" them .. on and on.

So something is seriously missing here.

Has anyone had similar experiences?

I don't see it being near ready for any sort of business application. I asked it to evaluate various business startup scenarios and we discussed and I would ask him to provide me with a bill of materials with cost. He could not do it.

I asked for a step by step action plan based on our discussion. He goes off in left field.

Finally he starts showing error messages and then times out.

And this is gpt 4.5. Basically it's a toy. $20 bucks a month
