As a math teacher, this is such a funny comparison to keep reading.
Yes, there's a difference between a deterministic outcome and a non-deterministic one. But throw humans into the loop, and it becomes more interesting. I can't count the number of times I've listened to someone argue their answer must be right because they got it from the calculator. And it's not just students; as a teacher I've always paid attention to how adults use math.
With calculators or GPT tools, or any other automated assistant, judgement and validation continues to matter.
