Calculating is not math. Calculators make mathematicians better mathematicians by allowing them to spend their time on actual mathematics.

Writing is thinking. LLM writing makes authors worsr authors and even dumber people overall.

Also a calculator gives the same answer as a human (except for human errors where the calculator isa strict improvement). LLMs absolutely do not give the same output as humans.



Isn’t that expected, though? If 100 of us were to write a five page essay on the chaffing mechanics of an Underoos wedgie, the likelihood that any of them are the same is pretty small, isn’t it?


They don't just give different implementations of the same categorical output, but categorically different output. LLMs do not write like humans.
