No, but you can say "I don't know", "I can't do this in my head", "Why is this important?", "Let me get my calculator" or any other thing that is categorically more useful than just making up a result.

It's relatively trivial to get an LLM that does that and every big lab has one, even if they're not selling them.

ChatGPT 4o as of right now just runs python code, which I guess is "Let me get my calculator", see https://chatgpt.com/share/670df313-9f88-8004-a137-22c302f8bf...).

Claude 3.5 just... does the multiplication correctly by independently deciding to go step-by-step (don't see a convenient way to share conversations, but the prompt was just "What is 1682671* 168363?").
