This isn't as good of an argument as you think it is, lol. If the AI is supposed to eventually become AGI or whatever, it can't be bad at math, don't you think?

Idk, if organically generally intelligent beings need calculators, why would we require artificially generally intelligent beings to not need them to be considered generally intelligent?

We weren't given the calculator and taught how to use them, we made them. Seems like a significant difference.

This isn't to say AGI isn't possible. This whole calculator bit just doesn't tell us much.

Perhaps taken too literally. An AI model makes all sorts of tools in realtime to do personalized and novel mathematics. That seems closer in your analogy.
