I would say that is not a fair comparison, a calculator has no given ability to work out new postulates and axioms and is limited to a pre-set output function whereas Chatgpt is first an ever growing learning function which has no defined output function (some exemptions) and ability to produce something vastly new. It might be an immense help and but it vastly more powerful and capable than just that. >

Maybe.
It may take a few centuries but eventually AI will know more than you can hope to learn in a single lifetime and just be better than us.
People see how far AI has come in just a couple decades but as long as it hasn't surpassed us yet we somehow convince ourselves it never will.
That's a bold prediction.
