Be that as it may, Black Panther sports an 88 on Metacritic, which does weight by review score. This makes it far and away the highest rated Marvel movie of all time.

For my part I wouldn't put it there. I thought it was a good movie, but the interesting themes of the movie were muddled by some odd blind spots. I'd easily put Logan, GotG, and Thor Ragnarok above it.

I'm really surprised that Shang-Chi was so high up in the corner. The entire time I was watching that movie, I was thinking that they were introducing a character, with family working in the United States, with a mythical back story, but we have to travel to his home in a far off land, and we assemble a team of his fellow citizens to survive a giant defensive battle. This is the same plot as Black Panther.

If they're going to release it and people are going to use it (whatever the warnings may be), I don't think it's trivial at all. Basic math factors into a significant percentage of the conversations we have. And it's certainly not trivial to be able to tell when a question needs it.

I'm not calling for it to be turned into a basic calculator: I'm asking why they don't recognize that a portion of the answers they provide will be useless without being able to solve simple math problems.

They could certainly build in a calculator now and continue to explore ways for it to learn math on its own. I just don't understand why you would release a project that gets so much wrong that could easily be made right. (And nothing I've read on it, which is a non-trivial amount, mentions that it can't (always) calculate basic arithmetic.) If I can't count on the thing to know for sure the answer to a basic division problem, I can't count on it at all -- at which point, there's no reason to use it.
