Those systems work by predicting the most plausible next word in a sentence and are good at certain writing-based work tasks.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->But tech companies have been working to build AI tools that are better at longer-range planning and reasoning so they can access the web or control computers and perform tasks on their own on a user&#8217;s behalf.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1pe5jgt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff has criticized Microsoft&#8217;s pivot.
