Not so sure that Ai is ready for prime time.

So, I saw some news report that a billionaire had offered to pay the military this 15th. That made me curious as to what that would cost so I asked Ai to give me the total number of troops, and how much it would cost.
Gave me lots of equations, facts and figures and finally, an average pay of $4135 semi monthly. (Ok so far)
Then came the next answer to how many troops...1.3 million personel. (still good so far).

Then the money shot... based on these figures, it would cost $24.5 billion. Whooa there.
I Ran the numbers through a caculator and I came up with $5.375 billion. Quite a difference from the $24.5 billion.
Wrote back to Ai with my caculation's and to my surprise, it admitted to a caculation error.
Told Ai it was time for it to have a math refresher course.

I get a kick out of catching it in mistakes, too. I asked about a Civil War soldier at Gettysburg. It's my passion and I've studied the era for decades. Gave me some strange name of a person I knew wasn't at Gettysburg. So I told AI it made a mistake. The cheeky bugger said "Oh, you're right, that person wasn't even born yet in 1863. My bad." "MY BAD" it said!!! AI creeps me out.

Recently we had a notice of our water being shut off for system repair. The bot call translated our address ending in Dr. to doctor. Instead of Oval drive it was Oval doctor.

Yes, I've found a few obscure entertainers AI couldn't find or even pronounce their names.

All my Amazon Echo Shows have AI and, so far, all their answers to my questions are SUPERB! They know everything about me and my family.

Well after Diane Keaton passed away I saw something saying it was fake. I googled it and AI said she's still alive.

But there's news stories of her death.
