Like I said, not everyone has the same resources I do...
But this doesn't seem worse than googling questions and not everyone can spend hours waiting to talk with the Irs/Cra etc.
It just seems that sometimes folks are so determined to be anti LLM that they refuse to see how it could ever help anyone.
Believe it or not, there are people who aren't you who struggle with stuff.
Help a marginalized person with paperwork and you'll see what I mean.
"Googling" used to get you to the needed IRS documentation, but now, with the help of Gemini you're just being lied to.

If you need tax help, call your local library, they often have tax help. Also if it seems like a tax dodge, don't take the deduction. Don't outsource your brain to an LLM. You've done your taxes before without a GPT you can do it again.
