I actually agree with this. I use LLMs often, and I don't compare them to a calculator.

Mainly I meant to push back against the reflexive comparison to a friend or family member or colleague. AI is a multi-purpose tool that is used for many different kinds of tasks. Some of these tasks are analogues to human tasks, where we should anticipate human error. Others are not, and yet we often ask an LLM to do them anyway.
