Except when you're doing calculations, a calculator can run through an equation substituting the given answers and see that the values match... Which is my point of calculators not being a good example. And the case of a quantum computer wasn't addressed.

I agree that LLMs have many issues, are being used for bad purposes, are overhyped, and we've yet to see if the issues are solvable - but I think the analogy is twisting the truth, and I think the current state of LLMs being bad is not a license to make disingenuous comparisons.
