It's like a Tesla self driving car. It's pretty great and reliable most of the time. Enough you can trust it to make the right decisions...until it kills you one day because you trusted it. LLM's probably aren't going to kill you, but being aware of their limitations is important. And for the developers of them, knowing what needs work is the valuable bit.
Ultimately I think they are flawed for the same reasons humans are. Overconfidence and reliance on knowledge. If the information is wrong, they can never reason out the correct answer. And as we well know, you can't trust everything you read on the internet. The overconfidence can be dialed down, but verifying facts on which decisions are made is a lot harder nut to crack.

To me you've hit the nail on the head. It gets scary when these things make weird stupid error, and then we want to make them do air traffic control.
But we run into a strange conundrum when we compare them to humans, because we're actually quite terrible at many things. My doctor friend has quietly confided in me that her patient diagnoses are rapidly improving, and it illuminated her to "2 very serious issues I didn't have on my radar" for a couple patients.
The human psychology angle of AI potentially saving 1000 lives while simultaneously doing something dumb and killing 100 people is fascinating to me.

I recently became viral on TikTok on a new account, getting 50K+ followers since January and over 30 million views in that span. My videos are consistently at the top of high traffic search terms and completely took over the search and fyp as the top Tik Tok creator for those words. This thing came out of the blue to be honest but I analyzed what was consistently popular and made a better version of it, effectively creating a new genre within it and it took off.
I'm basically scrambling to have my AI business website fully fledged as I'm getting sponsored video requests from some of the bigger AI video company names and recently accepted in Tik Tok One. I also got recruited and accepted as an Amazon Influencer which will help me expand and keep monetizing should Tik Tok get shut off. All of a sudden I now have an audience to promote my own apps. My efforts are going here right now to monetize as quickly as I can to have a cross platform presence.
My videos are generally created with a combination of Perplexity (Deepseek R1) + Midjourney + Kling + upscaler Topaz AI / video editing Davinci Resolve, Suno for music and ElevenLabs for voiceover.
Stay tuned.

Lmao, from such humble beginnings! For all the debate online about "is it a bubble", there are simply people who merely go out and do stuff. I think those with agency and curiosity stand to make some very interesting things.
Speaking as somebody in the entrepreneurial space (kinda), an uncomfortable truth is you need to take a lot of swings at different stuff then iterate on what works over and over again. It can be a massive investment in many ways.
This though? Somebody like me (and I mean that in the most derogatory, self-loathing way) can spin up probably 10 concepts in a month. I don't think people appreciate that (as Firebot has shown), finding a successful thing is often a factor of just swinging until luck finds you.
