If you lock an iPhone, then blast it with as many attempts as possible to unlock it unsuccessfully because you're sure it's the right code, then Apple will basically brick that iPhone, leaving you with no choice but to either get a desktop PC or go to an Apple store, nuke and pave the iPhone, and pray you didn't keep anything off of the someone-else's-computer called iCloud.

Ask me how I know.

I love how Windows 8 and 8.1 are both historical footnotes so quickly and easily forgotten that even Microsoft itself pretends they never happened.

(It's operator precedence that simple calculators are designed to ignore, which is why they answer my example with 35, while advanced calculators and machine-free math both answer with 23.)

Related, if you did never learn math because calculators exist, then you don't know that your simple calculator lies to you with problems like "3 + 4 x 5", let alone how or why.

Newsroom (NZ), "When students' brains go quiet": newsroom.co.nz/2025/10/02/when

The lede is spot-on: "Students starting to learn with AI is the difference between using a calculator after understanding math versus never learning math because calculators exist"

Even with a bias in favor of (the LLMs pretending to be) AI being effective tools when in expertly knowledgeable hands, the conclusion of it being harmful in general is inescapable.
