TBH I think a good AI would have access to a Swiss army knife of tools and know how to use them. For example a complicated math equation, using a calculator is just smarter than doing it in your head.

We already have the chess "calculator", though. It's called stockfish. I don't know why you'd ask a dictionary how to solve a math problem.
Chess might not be a great example, given that most people interested in analyzing chess moves probably know that chess engines exist. But it's easy to find examples where this approach would be very helpful.
If I'm an undergrad doing a math assignment and want to check an answer, I may have no idea that symbolic algebra tools exist or how to use them. But if an all-purpose LLM gets a screenshot of a math equation and knows that its best option is to pass it along to one of those tools, that's valuable to me even if it isn't valuable to a mathematician who would have just cut out of the LLM middle-man and gone straight to the solver.
There are probably a billion examples like this. I'd imagine lots of people are clueless that software exists which can help them with some problem they have, so an LLM would be helpful for discovery even if it's just acting as a pass-through.
Even knowing that the software exists isn't enough. You have to learn how to use the thing.
A generalist AI with a "chatty" interface that delegates to specialized modules for specific problem-solving seems like a good system to me.
"It looks like you're writing a letter" ;)
Lets clip this in the bud before it grows wings.

People ask LLM’s to do all sorts of things they’re not good at.
You take a picture of a chess board and send it to ChatGPT and it replies with the current evaluation and the best move/strategy for black and white.
