Love or hate just please explain why. This isn’t my area of expertise so I’d love to hear your opinions, especially if you’re particularly well versed or involved. If you have any literature, studies or websites let me know.

    Maybe this is reflective of my media bubble, but I’ve never encountered someone claiming that LLMs should be used as calculators. Most of the advertising I’ve seen (not much) is mostly centered around natural language search and image recognition. I only really hear about them being bad at math from detractors, and I think it misses the mark of why AI companies are dangerous. The problem with LLMs is not that they’re bad at math, or even that they get non-math answers wrong sometimes. The problem is when they’re controlled by humans with a political axe to grind, who deliberately wish to obscure or distort the information their users can access, c.f. Grok.
