And we have tens of thousands of years of shared experience of "People Were Wrong and Fucked Shit Up". What's your point?

Again, my point isn't that LLMs are infallible; it's that they only need to be better than their competition, and their competition sucks.

It's a fine line. Humans don't always fuck shit up.

But human systems that don't fuck shit up are short-lived, rare, and fragile, and they've only become a potential - not a reality - in the last century or so.

The rest of history is mostly just endless horrors, with occasional tentative moments of useful insight.
