why don't they program them to look up math programs and outsource chess to other programs when they're asked for that stuff?

Because the AI doesn't know what it's being asked, it's just a algorithm guessing what the next word in a reply is. It has no understanding of what the words mean.

I they got sued by shareholders for doing so. I guess CEOs aren't the only ones that need to be on the list...
