Why would a smart person go to an LLM for an answer they cannot judge or test, be succeptible to flattery and sycophancy rather than picking up on the emotional manipulation and being suspicious/sceptical of the interaction, or looking for support from an echo chamber rather than a Socratic opponent?
All of those sound like flaws and defects of dumb people?

Great summary of the flaws with LLM "research"/"reasoning". It's always trying to con you, and I question the literacy and intelligence of the people who can't see this.
