    This sounds like “Hmm, maybe calculators won’t replace mathematicians.” to me.

    Not sure why it should replace them. They’ll co-exist. Sometimes you can do the math in your brain and for other things you use calculators. Results of calculators can still be wrong it you don’t use them properly.
