> How is the calculator a strawman? What is the argument that I am attributing to you that you do not hold?

I said: "AI has progressed from being fully inexistent to a level rivaling and surpassing quite some humans in quite some things in less than 100 years"

You attacked the intentionally inane (which is the purpose of a straw man): "Calculators are better at all humans in arithmetic, so they are smarter than all humans"

In no way is what I said close to what you attacked.

> As for the ad-hominem: I'm glad you don't dispute your misanthropy.

Sure, double down on your fallacious nonsense instead of opening your mind to reason and engaging with my point in good faith.

I provided properly described evidence for my point. You're stuck in "AI is just some calculator on steroids". Do your 'deep research' assignment before responding.

If you can't tell the difference between a strawman and an analogy, then no wonder you're so impressed by AI.
