> I'm surprised how strange that idea sounds to some people.

I think a lot of people using the models genuinely feel like the models are more capable than they are now, and they're content to relinquish a lot of trust and agency. The worrying thing is that the models are superficially hyper-capable, but from more granular perspectives, you can see a lot of holes in their abilities. This is incredibly important, but very difficult to convey concisely to people. It's a classic example of nuance seeming too complicated because not caring is so much more gratifying. People love using these models.
