Try asking my question to Google gemini a bunch of times, sometimes it gets it right, sometimes it doesn't. Seems to be about 50/50 but I quickly ran out of free access.
And google is planning to replace their search (which includes a working calculator) with this stuff. So it is absolutely the case that there's a plan to replace one of the world's most popular calculators, if not the most popular, with it.
Also, a lawnmower is unlikely to say: "Sure, I am happy to take you to work" and "I am satisfied with my performance" afterwards. That's why I sometimes find these bots' pretentious demeanor worse than their functional shortcomings.
“Pretentious” is a trait expressed by something that’s thinking. These are the most likely words that best fit the context. Your emotional engagement with this technology is weird
