    The takeaway from all LLM-based AI is the user needs to be smart enough to do whatever they’re asking anyway. All output needs to be verified before being used or relied upon.

    The “AI” is just streamlining the process to save time.

    Relying on it otherwise is stupid and just proves instantly that you are incompetent.

      I’m gonna say that’s ideal but not quite necessary. What’s needed is that the user is capable of properly verifying the output. Which anyone who could do it themselves definitely can, but it can be done more broadly. It’s an easier skill to verify a result than it is to obtain that result. Think: how film critics don’t necessarily need to be filmmakers, or the P=NP question in computer science.

        This is where domain expertise would come in, no? It’s speeding up the work but it usually outputs generic content, and whatever else it injects while hallucinating. Therefore the validation part holds up I’d say.

      This is absolutely the case, and honestly, at least for now how it needs to be across the board.

      Noone should be using AI to do things you’re incapable of doing (or undoing).

      Relying on it otherwise is stupid and just proves instantly that you are incompetent.

      Relying on it in any circumstances (though medical stuff is understandable if you’re simply too poor or don’t have access) while it is exhausting water supplies and polluting the planet is stupid and instantly proves that you are stupid and inconsiderate.
