Knowing which problems are common or uncommon itself requires significant domain knowledge
i feel compelled to remind everyone that chatgpt/LLMs are functionally the *opposite* of an actual expert.
the more your problems are unusual or novel, the more likely LLMS are to be wrong. they are least helpful when it's most important

The thing about LLMs is that answers that are correct and answers that are wildly wrong are presented with *exactly the same level of confidence*
If you're informed enough to know the difference you don't need the answer
If you aren't you can't trust what you get
