Rule of thumb is that AI can be useful if you use it for things you already know.
They can save time and if they produce shit, you’ll notice.
Don’t use them for things you know nothing about.

Also I can use those to spot missing points / inconsistencies against the ton of documents we have in my shop when writing something. It’s quite useful when using it as a sparing partner so far.

LLM’s specifically bc ai as a range of practices encompass a lot of things where the user can be slightly more dumb.
You’re spot on in my opinion.

It’s great when you have basic critical thinking skills.
Unfortunately, many people don’t have those and just use AI as a substitute for their own brain.

Yeah well same applies for a lot of tools… I’m not certified for flying a plane and look at me not flying one either… but I’m not shitting on planes…

But planes don’t routinely spit out false information.

I understand what you mean, but… looks at Birgenair 301 and Aeroperu 603 looks at Qantas 72 looks at the 737 Max 8 crashes Planes have spat out false data, and in of the 5 cases mentioned, only one avoided disaster.
It is down to the humans in the cockpits to filter through the data and know what can be trusted. Which could be similar to LLMs except cockpits have a two person team to catch errors and keep things safe.

If you can’t fly a plane chances are you’ll crash it. If you can’t use llms chances are you’ll get shit out of it… outcome of using a tool is directly correlated to one’s ability?
Sound logical enough to me.
