To be fair, that isn’t what it was designed for. A competent AI would simply call up a calculator app, have it do the calculation, and then report back the result.

Congressperson: “Okay, so, let me get this straight. Your company has spent over 20 billion dollars in pursuit of a fully autonomous digital intelligence, and so far, your peak accuracy rate for basic addition and subtraction is... what was it, again?”
Sam Altman: leans into microphone “About 60%, sir.”
[Congress erupts in a sea of ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’, as Sam Altman is carried away on top of the cheering crowd of Congresspeople wearing a crown of roses and a sash reading, “BEST INVESTMENT”]

Might not be what it was designed for, but OpenAI claims their newest model is "PHd-levels" of intelligent. I feel like if that were true, it would do that reliably. Instead, sometimes it ignores the tool it's programmed to know how to use and just, y'know, wings it.
Which, fair, but that's my job and it's taken!

It’s making mistakes and failing to think abstractly at levels previously only achieved by humans, so it’s only rational to expect it to take over the world in 5 years
