This is what's problematic with modern "AI". Most people inexperienced with it, like the parent commenter will uncritically assume these LLMs poses "knowledge". This I find the most dangerous and prevalent assumption. Most people are oblivious to the fact how bad LLMs are.

I know excatly how bad the output they give is, because I ask for output that I can understand, debug and improve.

People misusing tools don't make tools useless or bad. Especially since LLMs designers never claimed the compressed information inside models is spotless or 100% accurate, or based on logical reasoning.

Any serious engineer with a modicum of knowledge about neural networks knows what can or can't be done with the output.
