It is! If your life is in shambles because you're suffering from alcoholism and you don't want it to be anymore, join the cult who's only requirement is a desire to quit drinking. There's no kool-aid laced with poison in a sucide death pact going on, just a desire to help people live better lives.
As an avid GIMPer for ~12 years now, I hate the UI. It's only fine because I've struggled through it for so long and now I know where and how things are.
But it's really poorly designed and outdated. I completely understand and sympathize with anyone trying to use GIMP for the first time.
Dismissing my observation with 'then don't read it' sidesteps the core issue. My point isn't about my personal reading habits, but about the low signal-to-noise ratio of this content genre. While you argue these stories are 'needed' because people blindly trust LLMs, especially with integrations like Gemini in search, these posts rarely offer more than the simplistic, already widely understood caution: 'don't blindly trust LLMs.' This is precisely the 'usual adage' I mentioned. The genre often lacks depth, failing to provide nuanced understanding or genuinely new information about why these systems fail in specific ways or how users can develop better critical assessment skills beyond mere distrust. If the goal is genuine education due to increased LLM exposure, the content needs to evolve beyond just showcasing errors.
