It would be a great comment if it represented reality, but as an analogy it's completely off.

LLM-based AI represents functionality that nothing other than the human mind and extensive research or singular expertise can replicate. There is no already existing 'second, better calculator' that has the same breadth of capabilities, particularly in areas involving language.

If you're only using it as a calculator (which was never the strength of an LLM in the first place), for problems you could already solve with a calculator because you understand what is required, then uh... yeah i mean use a calculator, that is the appropriate tool.
