Fuck AI

As someone who has to deal with LLMs/AI daily in my work in order to fix the messes they create, this tracks.

AI's sole purpose is to provide you a positive solution. That's it. Now that positive solution doesn't even need to be accurate or even exist. It's built to provide a positive "right" solution without taking the steps to get to that "right" solution thus the majority of the time that solution is going to be a hallucination.

you see it all the time. you can ask it something tech related and in order to get to that positive right solution it'll hallucinate libraries that don't exist, or programs that don't even do what it claims they do. Because logically to the LLM this is the positive right solution WITHOUT utilizing any steps to confirm that this solution even exists.

So in the case of OPs post I can see it happening. They told the LLM they wanted analytics for 3 months and rather than take the steps to get to an accurate solution it ignored said steps and decided to provide positive solution.

Don't use AI/LLMs for your day to day problem solving. you're wasting your time. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc have all programmed these things to provide you with "positive" solutions so you'll keep using them. they just hope you're not savvy enough to call out their LLM's when they're clearly and frequently wrong.
