If that's what you're hearing, then you're not thinking it through. Of course one would not want an AI acting as a doctor as one's real doctor, but a medical or law school graduate studying for a license sure would appreciate a Socratic tutor in their specialization. Likewise, on the job in a technical specialization, a sounding board is of more value when it follows along, potentially with a virtual board of debate, and questions when logical drifts occur. It's not AI thinking for one, it is AI critically assisting their exploration through Socratic debate. Do not place AI in charge of critical decisions, but do place them in the assistance of people figuring out such situations.
The doctor example is good because it puts the consumer at risk. Now, it's not a parlor game. Now can llm do the same?
The doctors analogy still applies, that "socratic tutor" LLM is actually a charlatan that sounds, to the untrained mind, like a competent person, but in actuality is a complete farce. I still wouldn't trust that.
