  @stefano You are a kinder man than I. I guess I've been jaded enough by that kind of attitude from others who think they know and don't understand why we make these things look simple.

  Ok, but if I go to the doctor, or mechanic, or salumiere, I decide to trust them to suggest me better.

  I'm not gonna tell the doctor that chatgpt suggested something else

  @luca @claudiom You're not doing it. But my GP (a great doctor, always available) says people go to her with a diagnosis done by AIs and asking for receipts for medicines, X-rays, etc.

  This is happening almost everywhere.

  @stefano @luca Yep, I was just going to mention that there are people that do go to their doctor with answers from AI instead of trusting the doctor. I understand getting a second opinion, but you do that with someone in that field, not a LLM.

  @stefano @claudiom I think the problem here is that AI often gives inexperienced and untrained people the idea that they have all the knowledge they need, embodied in a chat bot. That works fine, according the the people selling the tokens, but it is unrealistic in real life.

  @gbsills @claudiom yes, that's one of the points.
  The apparent "I know all" knowledge of the LLMs gives people the (false) impression of being able to do anything.

  @stefano @claudiom being willing to share the story is a good faith action
