I never said it was the same. I just said you have to be careful with tools you use. It applies to every tool.
You are implying that one must ensure the veracity of the output of a calculator in the same way that one must ensure the veracity of the output of an LLM and I'm saying no, that's strictly not true. If it were than the only way you could use an LLM incorrectly would be to type your query incorrectly. With a calculator that metaphor holds up. With an LLM you could make no mistakes and still get incorrect output.
I’m implying that you should be careful when you use tools, and not blindly trust the output.
