It occurs to me that LLMs ("AI," if you like) are used pretty much exclusively in areas where quality is difficult to define.

Art, service, design, communication, writing...arenas full of ambiguity, where it's hard to quantify success or failure.

It strikes me that LLMs are deployed mainly here, rather than in less equivocal places, at least in part because this masks the terminal flaw of LLMs:

They are designed for generation, not for accuracy.

They are not at all truthful or reliable.
