If it only solves the problems I already find trivial then it is a parrot. Nowadays we all have a calculator with us but if you emphasize that fact and choose to not practice and excel at basic arithmetic then you will be unable to perform higher mathematics that require it at every step. Of course if your problem is always already a solved problem then sure a parrot can be convinced to spit it out.
