Computers have been able to do mathematical calculation and logical deduction cheaply and perfectly for decades, and it's not really required for generative AIs to be able to do it for them to be useful. It's good enough if they can write and execute some python code to do it, and generally they are fairly capable of that.

The question of whether they can do it is interesting in an academic sense, but has nothing to do if they're useful or not. They also don't need to be true AGI to be useful.
