Google's Education VP wants us to believe AI is the classroom's new calculator, but this is a terrible analogy:

1. We know how calculators produce their results.
2. You can check a calculator's answer using pretty much the same algorithm it uses.
3. Rare floating point errors aside, calculators do not invent false answers.
4. Calculators are based on math principles; LLMs are based on no principles.
