This isn't ai maximalist though, it's explicitly pointing out something that regularly does not work!

But this is to someone who is actively using them, and the suggestion of "if you were using them more actively you'd know this, this is a very common issue" is not at all weird. There are other ways they could have known this, but they didn't.
"You haven't got the experience yet" is a much milder way of saying someone doesn't know how to use a tool properly than "you're ignorant".
Sure, but conceivably, you could also be informed of this second hand, through any publication about LLMs, so it is very odd to say "you don't use them enough" rather than "you're ignorant" or "you're uninformed". It is very similar to these very bizarre AI-maximalist positions that so many of us are tired of seeing.
