At some point, LLMs will be a far better source of truth, and then this distaste of people “outside their domains” is really just going to be a sort of snobbery from people who have had experience in a domain for a long time, (but they still have the same level of knowledge and insight as a person who just used an LLM to research).

These people are basically nascent “human supremacists”, who believe that only raw human insight and output has value, and is even superior, than equivalent output looked up and synthesized via LLM.

If I talk to a professor about their field of expertise, does that empower me to talk with other professors in that field on an equal level?

Not trying to be rude, but is this a serious comment, or are you being sarcastic? "Human supremacists", haha.

Also, why do you think someone who used an LLM to research would have the same level of knowledge and insight as someone who's been in the domain for a long time? That doesn't seem to hold up to any level of critical thinking.
