> An LLM is a computer program, which isn't a human. You wouldn't excuse a calculator being occasionally wrong because humans sometimes get manual calculations wrong too.

Ah, now we're getting technical. An LLM is a non-deterministic/probabilistic computer program, not a calculator. Keeping that in mind is critical when using an LLM. Expecting deterministic behavior from an LLM is an example of what's known as a 'category error'. [1]
