Here's another perspective: when asked to review a manuscript or proposal, an LLM will never say "this looks great, accept as is." It will *always* come up with a laundry list of "flaws", even for excellent work. These flaws can be superficially sensible but actually low-quality.

Brainstorming with frontier AI models in more open ended domains (like bio that do not have closed verifiable loops) that you have deep expertise in, really showcases the pretense of understanding that they display. 1/

Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Sarah Constantin (rationalist-adjacent writer/researcher) notes a real case where ChatGPT's advice on electrical safety was less complete than a YouTube video, illustrating LLM knowledge gaps in physically dangerous domains. Relevant to Nathan's interest in LLM reliability limits and dual-use/safety guidance failure modes.
