> I have a hard time trusting what I don't understand
Who doesn't? But we have to trust them anyway, otherwise everyone should get a PhD on everything.
Also for people who "has a hard time trusting", they might just give up when encountering things they don't understand. With AI at least there is a path for them to keep digging deeper and actually verify things to whatever level of satisfaction they want.
Sure, but then I rely on an actual expert.
My issue is, LLM fooled me more than a couple of times with stupid but difficult to notice bugs. At that point, I have hard time to trust them (but keep trying with some stuff).
If I asked someone for something and found out several time that the individual is failing, then I'll just stop working with them.
Edit: and to avoid with just anthropomorphizing LLM too much, the moment I notice a tool I use bug to point to losing data for example, I reconsider real hard before I use it again or not.
