Sure, but, what does that have to do with the AI answer? Wait.. Are you an AI?

I think thats an issue with AI, it has been so much trained on complex questions that now when you ask a simple one, it mistakes it for a complex one and answers it that way

The issue is it's an LLM. It puts words in an order that's statistically plausible but has no reasoning power.

It's auto-complete. It knows that "4" is the most common substring to follow "2 + 2" in its training. It's not actually doing addition.
