Interesting observations. Is it because we doubt the LLM's answers that we end up exploring the rabbit holes? After all, we don't ask our doctor what makes them sure that the knee pain is arthritis and not a rogue tumor? Perhaps it is the lack of credibility that is the issue here? If it were in fact truth we were accessing, we would accept it as such and move on.
Good question. Maybe it's because the LLM does not judge us for our questions. It does not feel that its expertise is being challenged by a non-qualified asker. The friction of social risk is removed (and I'm back to Marc's idea).
Thanks all. I agree with both of you. Also, not all use cases are alike. Certain kinds of questions one is happy to take a simple answer. Other more investigative multi-dimensional ones, the models are not afraid to suggest highly complex solutions and thats what gets me into the kind of rabbit-hole that I describe.
As an example keeping with the article's, my tax guy is not in the business of advising me to do a complicated straddle shifting tax liability from non retirement funds to retirement ones, and point out the guardrails I need to keep to to not run afoul of tax law, but Gemini has no problem offering that up, which leaves me having to try to understand all the implications of a move I probably wouldn't have thought to attempt and can't really understand without becoming a lot more knowledgable and acquiring some kind of "expertise."
