Would you hire a PhD to copy URLs by hand? Would them having PhD make it less likely they’d make a mistake than an high school student doing the same?

A high school student would use copy/paste and the urls would be perfect duplicates..

LLMs aren’t high school students, they’re blobs of numbers which happen to speak English if you poke them right. Use the tool when it’s good at what it does.

And the people who are causing this confusion are the CEOs of the companies saying that the newest model is a PHD in your pocket.

Did the LLM have this?

Grad students and even post docs often do a lot of this manual labour for data entry and formatting. Been there, done that.

Manual data entry has lots of errors. All good workflows around this base themselves on this fact.

I would not hire anyone for a role that requires computer use who does not know how to use copy/paste
