I completely understand the position of people who don't want to use LLMs or consume any content produced with LLMs. I do not understand the position of "NO ONE should use LLMs at all" because how are you planning to make that happen? no one should be *forced* to use them, but plenty of people are using them now. it's not something you can wish away or achieve via moral condemnation.

@lzg No one should use fossil fuels. How are we going to make that happen? It's not going well, I'll admit, but it's actually relatively straightforward, it's just there are these shitty rich people pushing fossil fuels and destroying democracy to do it.

I leave the parallels as an exercise for the reader.

@skyfaller @lzg also LLMs comparatively just came onto the scene, you can argue they are already too entrenched to fail but I think it's not too late

When a technology already exists it's already too late to unmake it, the best hope is to scope it. The history of our most mundane technologies looks much like this.
