My opinion is that it’s a defensive mechanism. I’ve seen it across experts in knowledge domains and my own. When you hear experts disagree it’s fine because it’s another human, when the LLM disagrees and provides an objective backing that’s often solid, people jump to defense and look for very subtle nuances they wouldn’t bring up with peers and those subtleties are often highly subjective and arguably often incorrect. That’s been my observation.

I for one welcome our new LLM overlords so long as some provide be solid living standards. Mistakes do happen and they aren’t perfect so experts often do have arguments but they do come stupidly close to approximation of expertise.
