lol how much complex math are people using day to day? You know what functions are on a basic calculator right?

Once again, stupid.

Are scientific calculators not a thing now? Are computers no longer performing complex calculations?

The term “computers” used to refer to people who performed calculations all day. The machines do the job so well now, most people don’t even know it used to refer to a human profession.

The problem isn’t machines replicating human skill sets. It’s that those machines are controlled by capitalists.
