Your analysis assumes that we can readily know if it’s useful. But we often can’t.
Consider these absurdities: “I don’t need to test this new drug before releasing it to market, as long as it is safe and effective!
Or “I don’t need to worry about phishing scams. I can click on any link as long as it is safe.”
Or more to the point: “This food tastes good, so it must be good for me. There’s no need for hygiene and food safety laws.”
I don’t trust LLMs, because I have tested them, and continue to test them, and they are patently unreliable. They can still be useful in a momentary, self-contained way. But my studies have led me to use them only for answers that are easily verified.
