You've seen it before, an AI overview or message that is completely wrong and misinterprets data and words and thus spits out complete nonsense. I believe that if AI transitions away from, or never even started as a chat bot, the technology would at least function way better.

Most of the AI I'm seeing implemented in the workplace goes like this: give the chatbot a command to sort through this excel spreadsheet, and then the chatbot types out like paragraph that's somehow too short yet has way too many words. Anything relaying raw data should not be using em dashes or colorful wording.

And even if there are better models that filter out uneccesarry words, the fact is that most of the popular AI development has been centered around pure chatbots. So most of the streamlining has been dedicated to making the chatbot function as a chatbot, NOT as a data processing tool.

Language models make sentences that they THINK sound right, not ones that they know are accurate to data. It only says 2+2=4 because it sees a bunch of other sources say that; it never actually did the math itself.

So we have a bunch of business AIs developed using chatbots as a basis of their own functions. And these chatbots have been absolutely lobotomized so that they can sound the most appealing, and to never ever say anything insulting or possibly suggest that that user is wrong and stupid. Instead of the business AI being trained on comprehending and displaying data in a legible way, it's trained on a hundred language restrictions to make the user feel good about his taco truck idea, not to tell them that they can't make a living selling spoiled meat.

TLDR professional AI needs to have less words that mean more
