Actually, you've reinforced their point. It's only bad at things the user is actually good at because the user actually knows enough in that domain to find the flaws and issues. It appears to be good in domains the user is bad at because the user doesn't know any better. In reality, the LLM is just bad at all domains; it's simply whether a user has the skill to discern it. Of course, I don't believe it's as black and white as that but I just wanted to point it out.

It’s like the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect but for LLMs instead of journalism.

Yes, that is precisely what I meant. It just occurred to me and I will see how that idea holds up.

Yeah, my goal was to reinforce their point in a humorous way.
