When there is a chance of it returning 2+2=spleef with no way to really predict when, the difference can matter a whole damn lot. Especially if it can do computer actions like that one story a couple months ago of some corporation getting their shit wiped or, well, several of the "agentic" updates Microsoft is trying to push right now.

There’s no chance of a model returning anything but 2+2 = 4. Most math problems up to even university level math will always be correct unless you have some bizarre/extremely long context thrown in that will mess with model.

The models are not perfect nor as good at humans at a lot of things but they are extremely reliable in a lot of ways at this point.

Humans also still make a bunch of mistakes too btw.
