> competent professionals
That requires a lot of clarity and definition if you want to claim that LLMs aren't competent professionals. I assume we'd ultimately agree that LLMs aren't, but I'd add that many humans paid for a task aren't competent professionals either and, more importantly, that I can't distinguish the competent professionals from others without myself being competent enough in the topic.
My point was that people have a long history of outsourcing to someone else, often to someone they have never met and never will. We do it for things that we have no real idea about and trust that the person doing it must have known what they were doing. I fully expect people to end up taking the same view of LLMs.
