Its not the early days in terms of expecting digital tools to be correct 99% of the time. Early adoption age was back in 2000-2009. Now everyone expects polished tools that does what it expects them to do

"...what it expects them to do"

therein lies the nuance. some people expect to get a natural language answer back. others expect to get a data table back. others expect to get correct SQL back. this is why it's so important to understand the use case and not bucket everything together.

if you expect correct 99% of the time, you will be waiting for a very very very long time for most, except for the most constrained, use cases
