i think it is due to the reverse utility curve; most products have some sort of gaussian utilty fuction for utility vs. expertise level. a complete newb will have trouble using the camera and a professional photographer will be limited by it, but most people in-between will get a lot of use out of it.
with llm’s it is opposite; a complete newb can learn some stuff, and an expert will be able to detect when it is bullshitting, but most people will be at a point where they have more knowledge about the subject the llm is talking about than the newb, but not enough to detect the bs.
