"but "trust LLM to be smart" ages a lot more gracefully."
That it doesn't even work now.
The word 'smart' there is actually doing a lot of heavy lifting, it's entirely contextualized.

So much AI discourse tacitly assumes that there's an objective quality that corresponds to "being smart", rather than a chaotic patchwork of extremely contextual social practices and expectations.
Yes, this is it exactly.
I totally understand what a developer might mean by 'smart' but we should have the self awareness to recognize it's barely meaningful outside of what we do.
