The main problem with LLMs is not their stupidity but the unpredictable nature of their stupidity. Some LLM can say adequate things about nuclear physics and then add that you need to add ketchup to the reactor because 2 kg of U + 1 kg or Pb = 4 kg of Zn.
Humans are easier to work with: if the guy is ready to talk adequately about reactors, you can expect that there won’t be any problems with ketchup or basic arithmetic.

Once upon a time, I saw some professor answer a 500€ question in Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, German edition. The question was “what kind of gelato is stracciatella?” and the answers made it possible to deduce it even if you didn’t know what stracciatella is.
He needed a 50/50 and the audience joker, IIRC.

I’m American and know that’s chocolate chip.

Also American and I love stracciatella. I usually like to try some new flavors when getting gelato, but it’s a solid flavor to fall back on if I’m just not sure.
Also, I would think very few Americans actually know what it is. From my experience, most know the basic ice cream flavors, but a lot might not even know what gelato is.

Dammit! Having to figure out what the flavours were was half the fun.
