Indeed. It's like saying "the strongest human on their best day can support the roof of this tent for hours, how dare you criticise them for being squishy humans" when someone says "why don't we make an a-frame out of wood?"

LLMs don't make a good A-frame, nor would I classify them as wood-like. People propose LLMs as solutions as if they're wooden when they're teetering contraptions of metal rods, aluminum extrusions, rubber bands, and duct tape. That can do the trick. It can't be relied on to fail reliably like a single solid material like wood.
