> Imagine saying this about a graphing calculator, because that is essentially what the LLM is for knowledge work.

A frankly hilarious statement given several key facts:

* You don't get and in fact are usually barred from using a graphing calculator outside of coursework designed around it

* Even when you DO use one, it is very often after years upon years of drawing graphs yourself. Analogous to LLMs even moreso than your core example, because to make use of an LLM in a way that is actually productive, you DO need to know what you're talking about with it, to suss out when it's made some bullshit up.
