I’m not allowed to enter legit chess tournaments where if I’m going be using my phone’s chess engine app to tell me the best move in every single position. Because that’s considered cheating by the chess players and tournament organizers and rightly so. But, there doesn’t seem to be an incentive to not do something similar in the world of work unless your LLM output is so bad or obviously inaccurate.

The challenge here is that the business world doesn't really recognize the concept of cheating.

In particular, tech is very open to people cheating and if billions of dollars could be had by somehow communicating the chess engine's work to a human at chess, the world of business would cheat at it.

Tech has a number of large startups that basically started with the assumption of "what if we assumed the law had no teeth?"

In the world of business and money, you lose if you don't cheat because everyone else is cheating.
