How about:

1) Unbounded claims of miraculous intelligence don't come from people actually using it;

2) The LLMs really are a "miraculous intelligence that works right out-of-the-box" for simple cases of a very large class of problems that previously was not trivial (or possible) to solve with computers.

3) Once you move past simple cases, they require increasing amount of expertise and hand-holding to get good results from. Most of the "holding it wrong" responses happen around the limits of what current LLMs can reliably do.

4) But still, that they can do any of that at all is not far from a miraculous wonder in itself - and they keep getting better.

With the exception of 1) being "No True Scotsman"-ish, this is all very fair - and if the technology was presented with this kind of grounded and realistic evaluation, there'd be a lot less hostility (IMO)!
