Workplace tech has long been the business world’s digital divide. For decades, people with desk jobs have had an increasing array of technology tools to drive collaboration, productivity, and access to information.

This digital divide is closing rapidly, thanks to workplace apps

Or watching it fumble through basic arithmetic problems that a middle schooler could solve with ease. These are the limitations and quirks of generative AI and the large language models (LLMs) that underpin them. They’re happening because AI models are running out of good training data, causing them to plateau.
