It's disconcerting watching Nostr devs promote the idea that LLMs can and *should* replace all human expertise, knowledge, ingenuity, creativity, and wisdom, so that persons with none of these can accomplish the same intellectual feats as those with lots of it.

I've never seen anyone ask the obvious follow-up question:

Why do you still need that person, then?

Because, then... you don't. You don't need a single person, of any type, anywhere.

This is the sort of thing we see being built here because the people paying for the building have an LLM to sell you and the pesky humans are just slowing the LLM down.

You are the intelligence they want to reduce.

Yes, exactly.

People always overestimate verbal intelligence, which is what LLMs excel at.

If you're familar with the data-information-knowledge-wisdom pyramid, I'm sure you know where to place those LLMs and why we as humas excel in the wisdom area (and always be). LLMs don't have any knowledge and wisdom.
