One thing that I find truly amazing is just the simple fact that you can now be fuzzy with the input you give a computer, and get something meaningful in return. Like, as someone who grew up learning to code in the 90s it always seemed like science fiction that we'd get to a point where you could give a computer some vague human level instructions and get it more or less do what you want.

The other side of the coin is that if you give it a precise input, it will fuzzily interpret it as something else that is easier to solve.

When you have a precise input, why give it to an LLM? When I have to do arithmetic, I use a calculator. I don't ask my coworker, who is generally pretty good at arithmetic, although I'd get the right answer 98% of the time. Instead, I use my coworker for questions that are less completely specified.

Also, if it's an important piece of arithmetic, and I'm in a position where I need to ask my coworker rather than do it myself, I'd expect my coworker (and my AI) to grab (spawn) a calculator, too.
