FWIW this happens what happens with modern steering wheels as well. Power steering is its own complicated subsystem that isn't just about user input. It has many more failure modes than an old-fashioned, analog steering wheel. The reason folks feel like "Mr. Computer" has a mind of its own is because of the mismatch between user desire and effect. This is a UX problem.
I also think chat and RAG are the biggest two UX paradigms we've spent exploring when it comes to LLMs. It's probably worth folks exploring other UX for LLMs that are enabling for the user. Suggestions in documents and code seem to be a UX that more people enjoy using but even then there's a mismatch.
