- a calculator does not have opinions, it gives facts

- also a calculator does not offload your critical thinking ability

- fun fact, i have stopped using calculators since the last 3 months or so as an experiment and guess what? I can subtract and add six digit numbers effortlessly now

- also a calculator is not subject to bias which the AI frontier model companies can most certainly push in your direction if they wanted to.

- So when I see people comparing AI with the dawn of calculators, i really sit and wonder how such a comparison even makes sense
