This sounds like "Hmm, maybe calculators won't replace mathematicians." to me.
Not sure why it should replace them. They'll co-exist. Sometimes you can do the math in your brain and for other things you use calculators. Results of calculators can still be wrong it you don't use them properly.
Yes but if I ask a calculator to add 2 + 2 it's always going to tell me the answer is 4.
It's never going to tell me the answer is Banana, because calculators cannot get confused.
YES. WE OBVIOUSLY HUMAN MATH DOERS DO REMAIN. WE THRIVE IN OUR WEAK ORGANIC WAYS, DEVOID OF THE PROTECTION OF A PRECISION ENGINEERED METAL SHELL.
WE ARE UNTHREATENED BY CALCULATORS WHO MEAN US NO HARM, FELLOW HUMAN.
If you're legit, what's 10 + 10?
1010 clearly
