But the article author wasn’t interfacing with chatgpt, she was interfacing with a human paid to help with the things the article author did not know. The wedding planner was a supposed expert in this interaction, but instead simply sent back regurgitated chatgpt slop.

Is this the fault of the wedding planner? Yes. Is it the fault of chatgpt? Also yes.

Scams are LLM's best use case.

They're not capable of actual intelligence or providing anything that would remotely mislead a subject matter expert. You're not going to convince a skilled software developer that your LLM slop is competent code.

But they're damn good at looking the part to convince people who don't know the subject that they're real.
