Tons of people fall for this too. Are they not reasoning? LLMs can also be bad reasoning machines.

I dont have much use for a bad reasoning machine.

    An attempt: They are bad reasoning machines that already are useful in a few domains and they're improving faster than evolutionary speeds. So even if they're not useful today in a domain relevant to you there's a significant possibility they might be in a few months. AlphaEvolve would have been scifi a decade ago.
