It’s kind of funny that they can more reliably spit out code that will give an answer than actually output the answer as text. I guess it’s a workaround that works well for many cases

Humans can also more reliably use a calculator (which is basically what python is) for big numbers than doing it in their heads. I think it makes sense.

This reminds me, I've had an alias for calc='python -ic "from math import *' for a long time now. It comes handy more often than you'd think.
