LOL would love for some OMG PROGRESS SOYIENCE SOYJACK to explain how AI is defeated by non-AI Wolfram Alpha which is like ancient old internet shit from 15 years ago?
What ppl often refer to as 'AI' these days are LLMs (large language models), which are essentially text-generators (like an advanced version of the predictive typing feature on your mobile phone)...
LLMs can't do math and they can't count, they just generate text that sounds/looks right based on training data - a classic example is chatgpt stating there are only two 'r's in 'strawberry'
An old date-time library would be vastly more accurate than 'AI' in computing date intervals
I asked Grok to do a simple calculation for the resistance of two resistors connected in parallel. It failed three times to get the correct answer. I had to tell it exactly what to do and it finally got the correct answer.
The formula is R - (R1 x R2)/(R1 + R2). It's not complicated.
People really need to understand that AI is basically gonna be a real smooth talker, who can convince anyone on anything, but doesn’t necessarily know what it’s talking about.
“Large Language Model” is gonna be an important concept.
When having an AI do calculations for you, be sure to insist that it shows it’s work so that it can be validated.

One is a language model. The other is a language model with a math engine.
