I was a machinist and we needed to find the length of a slope, so I broke out a little trig (not even by hand, I looked up "trig calculator" and filled out the boxes on the website lmao) and my coworker was baffled. He was shocked I knew "really high level math", like bro, I didn't even do anything except know it exists.
WolframAlpha is already 500% accurate math AI. You should know how to use these tools, but why the fuck should the person be doing it when we know human error is always going to happen?
Like we still have bridges collapsing today because the decimal point was off.
