An LLM can give you a list of examples:
Historical Examples:
- During historical epidemics, structured record-keeping and statistical analysis (such as John Snow’s cholera maps in 1854) significantly improved outcomes.
- Development of physics, architecture, and engineering depended heavily on tools such as abacus, logarithmic tables, calculators, slide rules, to supplement human cognitive limitations.
- Astronomical calculations in ancient civilizations (Babylonian, Greek, Mayan) depended heavily on abacuses, tables, and other computational tools.
- The pyramids in ancient Egypt required extensive use of tools, mathematics, coordinated human labor, and sophisticated organization.
Including the arrogance to confidently deliver a wrong answer. Which is the opposite of the reasons we use computers in the first place. Why this is worth billions of dollars is utterly beyond me.
