Its the same issue with LLMs. Their responses are always the least adequate, minimum acceptable answer, with an OVERWHELMING amount of "caution garnish" to create the impression of it being a well thought out answer.

That also sounds a lot like the kind of comments that Reddit (and Lemmy, and really any social network with votes) grooms for if you prefer up votes to arguing with pedants and trolls. Eventually all your left with are boring overqualified comments or inflammatory comments when the mob rules and you are striving/solving for the most popular/engaging answer. It's like conversational least squares analysis.

I wonder where the LLM trolls are? Maybe they are just so subtle, we haven't noticed them. Maybe LLMs aren't hallucinating answers, so much as they and trolling us. And here is where I qualify my answer in an attempt to quell the fools that might think anything I've said here implies that LLMs are anything close to sapient.
