  Is it really always giving you that answer? What if you’re in a different mode? There is no 2 in the binary system. You could already have pressed “3+” beforehand, so the result will be 7.

  I see you point from a technical point of view. It’s deterministic. But from a more hypothetical way I see LLMs as some kind of complex calculator for language.

  This sounds like “Hmm, maybe calculators won’t replace mathematicians.” to me.

  Not sure why it should replace them. They’ll co-exist. Sometimes you can do the math in your brain and for other things you use calculators. Results of calculators can still be wrong it you don’t use them properly.
