> What about the people who don't know the first thing about dealing with their water heater suddenly going south, and ask it some basic questions of how to approach that problem?

Why would you trust an LLM's advice about an appliance that can hideously disfigure you when they regularly fuck up basic advice about computers?

Unfortunately the majority of people don't know what they don't know. I've seen plenty of cases where an LLM is grossly wrong, but those don't seem to be publicised as much as "LLM does $awesome_thing" in the mainstream media.
