Okay, and now you give those mediocre humans a tool hat is both great and terrible. The problem is, unless you know your way around very well, they won't know which is which.

Since my company uses Excel a lot, and I know the basics but don't want to become an expert, I use LLMs to ask intermediate questions, too hard to answer with the few formulas I know, not too hard for a short solution path.

I have great success and definitely like what I can get with the Excel/LLM combo. But if my colleagues used it the same way, they would not get my good results, which is not their fault, they are not IT but specialists, e.g. for logistics. The best use of LLMs is if you could already do the job without them, but it saves you time to ask them and then check if the result is actually acceptable.

Sometimes I abandon the LLM session, because sometimes, and it's not always easy to predict, fixing the broken result would take more effort than just doing it the old way myself.

A big problem is that the LLMs are so darn confident and always present a result. For example, I point it to a problem, it "thinks", and then it gives me new code and very confidently summarizes what the problem was, correctly, that it now for sure fixed the problem. Only that when I actually try the result has gotten worse than before. At that point I never try to get back to a working solution by continuing to try to "talk" to the AI, I just delete that session and do another, non-AI approach.

But non-experts, and people who are very busy and just want to get some result to forward to someone waiting for it as quickly as possible will be tempted to accept the nice looking and confidently presented "solution" as-is. And you may not find a problem until half a year later somebody finds that prepayments, pro forma bills and the final invoices don't quite match in hard to follow ways.

Not that these things don't happen now already, but adding a tool with erratic results might increase problems, depending on actual implementation of the process. Which most likely won't be well thought out, many will just cram in the new tool and think it works when it doesn't implode right away, and the first results, produced when people still pay a lot of attention and are careful, all look good.

I am in awe of the accomplishments of this new tool, but it is way overhyped IMHO, still far too unpolished and random. Forcing all kinds of processes and people to use it is not a good match, I think.
