Yeah, this was sorta what I was doing, I know LLMs are LLMs but I kinda tried to trick myself into thinking I could use an LLM to check an LLM, but I guess I'm also mentally stable (or educated) enough to know that's not sophisticated/realistic, and that was the conversation with my wife I mentioned. She's a professor and was basically like "LLMs are dumb, you're being dumb for using an LLM this way, DO NOT email some random professor about this, I already get enough of this shit, log off and go for a walk dumbass" - I would imagine someone like me with lesser stability around them would end up in a weird place, and I guess experts (as evidenced by my wife) are getting a lot of junk these days. (I still feel really foolish admitting all this, ha)
It must suck to be an expert right now?

You just have to be a little more careful these days. Previously ideas that sounded good tended to have more experienced people behind them. Now somebody coming to you with a bonehead idea sounds a little more sophisticated, but honestly it keeps me a little more in check than previously as I have to give a little extra attention to everything, which I probably should have been doing anyway.
