A human tutor typically misquotes a real source or says “I’m not sure”

An LLM, by contrast, will invent a flawless looking but nonexistent citation. Even a below average teacher doesn’t churn out fresh fabrications every tenth sentence.

Because a teacher usually cites recognizable material, you can check the textbook and recover quickly. With an LLM you first have to discover the source never existed. That verification cost is higher, the more complex task you are trying to achieve.

A LLM will give you a perfect paragraph about the AWS Database Migration service, the list of supported databases, and then include in there a data flow like on-prem to on-prem data that is not supported...Relying on an LLM is like flying with a friendly copilot but who has multiple personality disorder. You dont know which day he will forget to take his meds :-)

Stressful and mentally exhausting in a different kind of way....
