I agree with your take, but at the same time, I’m not sure these things should ever do math. I know that they can, but it seems impossible to draw the line of math they can do vs math they shouldn’t do. A part of me suspects they should always be outsourcing any math to a tool.

Absolutely, but the ability to perform complex math in one step seems like a good indicator that it isn’t just a convincing conversational autocomplete anymore.

But is it anything more than a convincing mathematical autocomplete? Or a convincing code autocomplete? Mathematics and code are themselves primarily conversational tools, with side effects.
