When you have a precise input, why give it to an LLM? When I have to do arithmetic, I use a calculator. I don't ask my coworker, who is generally pretty good at arithmetic, although I'd get the right answer 98% of the time. Instead, I use my coworker for questions that are less completely specified.

Also, if it's an important piece of arithmetic, and I'm in a position where I need to ask my coworker rather than do it myself, I'd expect my coworker (and my AI) to grab (spawn) a calculator, too.
