Raw LLM Responses

I started a very small business this year- only a few months ago. I decided to go all-in with AI. I used it a LOT, and for day to day consultation (lots of questions when starting a new business) it was great. I was logging all of my business activities, and I started to notice problems.  Employee starts at 2:00, and I log it.  They are done at 5:00 and I log it.  "Employee worked for 32 hours, and you owe them $15.". That went on for a while. Then I wanted to get returns on what I entered.  I logged every product I made.  I started asking for inventory numbers, and in 5 minutes it went from 871, to 512, to 342, to 72. It is very bad with accuracy.  Horrible for record-keeping.  But very good as a better information search than Google. I tried to convert a list of paired data from text to a table in excel- using Microsoft's AI.  That was just an exercise in frustration.  I spent 2 hours trying to get something organized that I could have re-typed in 10 minutes.  I think some of it got worse with GPT 5. I have been working with technology for a long time.  I am a computer programmer by trade.  I really gave this a solid attempt for a few months.  I would say that if you're looking for assistance with writing, it's great.  Fancy web search, it's great.  But as an assistant, you're better off hiring retirees with early onset dementia. Now that I know I won't get accurate information out, I have no reason to put information in.  It just seems like a very empty service with no real function.  I couldn't even use it to create a logo, because it can't accurately put text in an image. I do think it would be good as an audio tool that I could use while driving.  Just to ask random questions and get reasonable replies.  But not for anything important.
