Meatspace brain uses digits, LLM uses tokens. i.e. when I enter "7953 + 5205" what gpt-4o is actually computing is [48186, 18, 659, 220, 26069, 20] (https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer) So saying it's not the simplest is an understatement by far, it's doing millions or billions of times as much math as a calculator would. Ask an LLM to generate a program to do math, rather than doing the math itself.
