Nowadays you can explain a 10 step algorithm to chatgpt and it will do the math for you.
Good luck trying to calculate hash functions step-by-step with Chat GPT (it won't be even close to results, which you can get on sha256algorithm, and it will just hallucinate some constants out of Wikipedia description, but nothing beyond that). Or try asking about Schoof-Elkies-Atkin algorithm on real elliptic curves (it will repeat, that this topic is too complex, because many PowerPoints said that; or it will hallucinate, and tell you completely wrong results, even if all numbers will be below 100). Existing AI models are really bad, when it comes to math. They are nowhere close to tools like Sage or WolframAlpha.
