Norway imposes near ban on AI in elementary school
Not quite. The LLM gives you a statistically probable sounding token stream. The calculator gives you a qualified answer within documented and deterministic limits of the device.
No one knows how to use either.

By... another AI model. Which uses statistical generation to decide whether the answer is likely to be accurate or not.

Compounding one probabilistic LLM with another seems to compound the probabilistic nature, not reduce it.
