Yes, but I used the calculator to teach my children in grade 3 multiplication. They made their calculation and then checked to see if they got it right. A calculator can be used just like a book, you can use it to learn and my students knew their multiplication (and as a result their division) tables orally up to 12 X 12 before they entered grade 4. Today I would teach them how to use AI.
Part of the motivation was teaching them the love of learning and the pride of achievement, not just to score on a test. Just like, I suppose a robot could be made which we could program to hit perfect hole in ones every time on the golf course - but it would not be as much fun as when we do it ourselves.
