This seems a bit self-contradictory: you say LLMs mislead people and can't reason, then fault them for being good at helping people solve puzzles or win trivia games. You can't have it both ways.

> you say LLMs mislead people and can't reason
Why would you postulate these two to be mutually exclusive?

They only help them in the same sense that a calculator would 'help' win at a hypothetical mental math competition, that is the gist; robbing people of the creative and mentally stimulating processes that make the game(s) fun. But I've come to realize this is an unpopular opinion on this website where being fiercely competitive is the only remarkable personality trait, so I guess yeah it may be useful for this particular population.
