It's crazy that no one has integrated them with a graphing calculator, spreadsheets, symbolic logic software, etc., in order to increase their deterministic reasoning capacity.

Like, human brains aren't just the language centers, so I don't know why the people trying to build an analogue haven't done more than merely trying to make the linguistic capacity more complex...

    I mean the poster above you is wrong, they use math tools internally now when you ask math questions. Very obvious in Gemini. Yes the raw LLM trying to autocomplete the answer to a math problem is gonna be wrong but that’s not the way they are used to solve problems like that anymore.

    They have, you're not using the latest premium models.

    That would probably be because I don't use them? Why would I need that when I can use a calculator myself?

    Good for you, but then that doesn't make you the most reliable source on their capabilities.

    Why would I need that when I can use a calculator myself?

    Because it doesn't just execute your calculations. It solves the whole math problem, then codes an app to handle future problems like this, automatically.

    Sure, you don't need to use it, if you're already comfortable with what you have. AI brings nothing new, but it does allow for speed and convenience (so long as accuracy isn't critical).

    I never claimed to be the authoritative source on all AI knowledge, chill out. Also, it's entirely possible to keep up on developments in tech without using the technology.

    As for the rest, if you want to let an LLM do all that for you, go ahead. It's not gonna bother me when it gives you a bad output.
