- neom 2y agoI have dyscalculia and I still have no clue about calculators except I was taught how to make it give me the answer to math problems, I'm a bit embarrassed to say: even still I sometimes take a few seconds to boot into being able to use one. We often discuss LLMs like there is no divergence in humans, I don't know how many people math is intuitive for, but I know plenty of people like me.
