Perhaps its the complexity of what I want it to do - analyze 5 databases (4 excel, 1 word doc) for product content and confirm which companies match xyz criteria. It doesn't seem that hard to me, I'm just lazy. But I swear I've spent more time talking to ChatGPT than had I just done it myself.

It should be as simple as:
1. Parse and process all data.
2. Check to see which companies match data
3. Give me my result.

But apparently, checks & balances (safeguards) aren't automatically built in and are not obvious to AI. I'm doing it so step by step, I might as well have just hired some guy from Bangladesh to do this.

I bet I could accomplish this for you in 5 minutes using a Python script with AI assist via the API.
