About two years ago, I was at a coffee shop and two maths students were trying to understand a concept in the book. I suggested they might ask a language model to help them understand it. They scoffed at me, called a stochastic parrot, and said they can't do math at all.

I responded with, "Well, you don't even need it to do math. It can explain the concept." They scoffed again. "Those things are useless toys"
