I hear you. I'm very much the same, both in trying to not pay too much attention for the same reasons, but also the trade, though perhaps not all that specialised.

Once the economic aspect of this comes to the conclusion we already know: it isn't sustainable. I think we might start to see a more sensible approach to LLM usage.

The current status is as if people are asking LLMs if a mushroom they picked is safe to eat, and then serving the whole family. A more sensible approach would be to get a name suggestion from the LLM, then use that as an entry point to manually verify it.

The LLM user should always be the expert. I.e., don't serve something potentially poisonous. Let it come with suggestions, by all means. But if you don't know enough to verify the correctness of what it says, then you already lost. Unfortunately, this is how most people use it now. Followed by being shocked "it lied".
