I get that you hate AI but there's no reason to lie about its capabilities.

A lot of tools like Claude or ChatGPT have internal tools they call when they do math (or use a python script) rather than have the model actually compute anything.

The underlying tech itself can’t do it because you can’t do math by token probability.

That's not lying. There's nothing linguistic about numerical computation.
