I knew I wasn’t interested in A.I. for a while now, but I think I can finally put it into words.

A.I. is supposed to be useful for things I’m not skilled at or knowledgeable about. But since I’m not skilled at or knowledgeable about the thing I’m having A.I. do for me, I have no way of knowing how well A.I. accomplished it for me.

If I want to know that, I have to become skilled at or knowledgeable about the thing I need to do. At this point, why would I have A.I. do it since I know I can trust I’m doing it right?

I don’t have a problem delegating hiring people who are more skilled at or more knowledgeable about something than me because I can hold them accountable if they are faking.

With A.I., it’s on me if I’m duped. What’s the use in that?

For the tasks that LLMs are actually decent at, like writing letters, the idea is that you save time even if you're knowledgable enough to do it yourself, and even if you still need to do some corrections (and you're right that you shouldn't use AI for a task that you're not knowledgable about - those corrections are crucial). One of the big issues of LLMs is that they are being sold as a solution for lots of tasks that they're horrible at.

The biggest issue with AI is the human using it.

The biggest issue with the three-pedalled bicycle is that humans have, at most, two legs.
