Comment on How LLMs can be Assisted to do Arithmetic Correctly by Paul G

As a fanciful way to get myself into LLM usage, a few months ago, I tried to make a speech-driven calculator for my wife as I noticed in her job she would be taking numbers from one spreadsheet, a db, another and so on and doing simple calcs. Using LLMs was very enlightening but ultimately frustrating, still, it got me interested enough to move on to other things. Maybe this model could play its part.

(actually 4 months ago, first foray with Copilot which just ran away with my basic spec, lots of slop, vain attempts to force it to do TDD, using Whisper as the Speech To Text - STT - input was well, fun. github.com/cups/TalkCalculator - is as far as I got)
