That is how tools tend to work, yes.
"tools" doesn't mean "good"
good tools are designed well enough so it's clear how they are used, held, or what-fucking-ever.
fuck these simpleton takes are a pain in the arse. They're always pushed by these idiots that have based their whole world view on fortune cookie aphorisms
Lmfao yes, the internet was so easy for people to understand when it first was brought about.
I bet no one has ever held a hammer the wrong way, it's just intuitive right?
Wrong, common sense isn't actually that common and many tools we use in our life aren't understood by even a small fraction of the population, the reality is our entire civilization works using a lot of tools many people don't understand, nor utilize to the best of that given tools ability.

Jobs is Tech Jesus, but Antennagate is only recorded in one of the apocryphal books
I don't know what you're talking about in the slightest, but I do know LLMs can be helpful when used properly, but seemingly 99% of the time it isn't being used properly and grandiose claims are made about what it can do, which then triggers a reactionary response about it being useless when it doesn't do the exaggerated or downright impossible thing it was said to accomplish.
Edit: Ah lol seems like it's a jab at the old iPhone antenna gate, obviously just a shit take in that regard.
For an example, the company I work for is rolling out an AI assistant, fed by internal knowledge base pages that are... Edited by AI, in a highly regulated industry where correct information is very important. I do not forsee it going well.
Said like a person who wouldn't be able to correctly hold a hammer on first try
