    Why. Because you put trust into the producers of said calculators to not fuck it up. Or because you trust others to vet those machines or are you personally validating. Unless your disassembling those calculators and inspecting their chips sets your just putting your trust in someone else and claiming “this magic box is more trust worthy”

      A combination of personal vetting via analyzing output and the vetting of others. For instance, the Pentium calculation error was in the news. Otherwise, calculation by computer processor is understood and the technology is acceptable to be used for cases involving human lives.

      In contrast, there are several documented cases where LLM’s have been incorrect in the news to a point where I don’t need personal vetting. No one is anywhere close to stating that LLM’s can be used in cases involving human lives.
