If "the level of awareness that created a problem, cannot be used to fix the problem", then you're asking too much if you expect a human to reason about an LLM output when they are the ones that asked an LLM to do the thinking for them to begin with.


This feels like a rediscovering/rewording of Kernighan's Law:

"Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it." ~ Brian Kernighan


It's an old saying, I think Einstein is cited most often for it... something like this according to Google:

"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."


In this case you would replace the human.


Yes, I'd fire them, and then hire a more competent human.

I'm pretty happy with the team I've built. They make solid decisions that I can trust every time. I can't say the same for the LLM.
