I mean, isn't any program essentially a glorified calculator?
not really, a basic calculator doesn't tend to have variables and stuff like that
i say it's a glorified calculator because it's just getting input in the form of numbers (again, it has no clue what a language or word is) and spitting back out some numbers that are then reconstructed into words, which is precisely how we use calculators.
