depends on the tool and purpose. There was skill in navigating a file system, and now the next generation (obbscured from folder systems by mobile) seem to be losing that ability.

You can look at it in two ways, neither are particularly wrong unless your job is in fact to navigate file systems.

Of course, LLMs would be more useful to many more people if they could be used without skill, and were as "useful" as a human mentor.

That's true, and they lack that capability. Many people seem to react as though this means they're missing all value, however. I find them incredibly useful; it just isn't possible to get much value out without investing effort myself.

That is partially marketing's fault, so I say that confusion is self inflicted. Because marketing isn't focusing on "make yourself more productive!"
