I don't know about you, but when I do math without a calculator, my accuracy also drops precipitously whenever they add a digit.

In the very unserious hypothetical I'm describing, I'd say Lloyd's capabilities match that of GPT-4. In this case, he's not a calculator, but he is a decent programmer, so like GPT-4 he quickly runs the operation through a script, rather than trying to figure it out in his head.
