Large portions of this comment provides zero to negative value. You've quoted two LLMs and couched it in "caveat emptor" and "so I'm not sure". The rest of your comment has then mused over this data you do not trust using generalities ("my profession" are you a JS S/W eng? A chip design specialist at ARM? A security researcher?).

All of the value of your comment comes from the first sentence and the last two.

Sheesh, tough crowd.

    Feel free to consult LLMs, with all their downsides (like you needing to verify what they say, because it could be totally wrong).

    What you're doing here is half the job: consulting an LLM and sharing the output without verifying whether it is true. You're then saying 'okay everyone else, finish my job for me, specifically the hard part of it (the verification), while I did the easy part (asking a magic 8 ball)'.

    From this perspective, your comment could be viewed as disrespectful of others by asking them to finish your job, and of negative value because it could be totally hallucinated and false, and you didn't care enough about others to find out before posting it.

    tl;dr: 'I asked an LLM and it said X' will likely, for the near future, be downvoted just like 'I flipped a coin and it said X'. You should be pretty confident that what you post is not false before posting it, regardless of how you came up with it.
