Ask HN: Why has Wolfram Alpha, “Math Coprocessor of AI” not been acquired yet?

Because Stephen Wolfram is a billionaire who knows what he's sitting on

I asked OpenAI for a calculation the other day, and after a very sophisticated explanation of how to calculate something, it gave me a completely incorrect answer.

Seems to me that the future of AI depends on being able to do solid math.

Thus Wolfram Alpha becomes a perfect acquisition target to become the math brain that language oriented AI is missing. In the AI gold rush why is Wolfram Alpha left on the shelf?

ChatGPT can use a Wolfram Alpha plugin, right? This is already a solved problem. See https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/03/chatgpt-gets-its...
