It’s surely not about intelligence, it’s an ideology thing. I know people with PhDs who will viciously defend LLMs and think they are the future. I think that many people just choose to ignore the problems. Recently I had a discussion about whether an LLM should be integrated into the document management system of a company. There were well educated and intelligent people there who weren’t conviced that just one hallucination would turn such a system into a legal nightmare.

That may be true but it hasn’t been my experience which is why I phrased my comment that way
