IMHO that's the main reason people turn to any sort of automated data-processing tools in the first place: they don't want to look at the input data. They'd rather have "the computer" look at it and maybe query them back with some additional info gathering requests. But thinking on their own? Ugh.
So I boldly propose the new definition of AGI: it's the data-processing entity that will (at last!) reliably liberate you from having to look at your data before you start shoving this data into that processing entity.
Over the past year I've encountered so many situations where a person's opinion of how well an LLM accomplishes a task actually says more about that person's reading comprehension skills than it does the LLM's performance. This applies to both positive and negative opinions.
