> the "deep expertise" OP laments was actually deeply inconvenient to many people

This reminds me of the Upton Sinclair quote: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”

LLMs feel threatening to anyone who had an edge by knowing how to navigate domains with a lot of weird and complex behavior. It’s nice to feel like businesses need you if they want to solve a problem. It’s scary when a cheaper solution arrives that does 70% of that deep knowledge navigation at 1% of the cost.

And LLMs remind me of the video game Lemmings.

Also reminds me of that episode of Star Trek TOS 'The Ultimate Computer'

And the STTNG episode 'The Game'

Einstein was correct, the only thing in the universe that is infinite is human stupidity.

That is why I feel threatened by LLMs.
