As far as I understand, LLMs with 95% correct answers are much more useful than a car that doesn't crash 95% of times (if you need to pay attention to correct mistakes, you may well be driving).

A 95% correct LLM might be utter garbage in some areas but nearly flawless (thus reliable) in other, menial and time consuming tasks, such as summarization, rewording, providing new ideas, etc.

Also a 95% correct LLM is arguably the same or better than a human doing a similar task.
