This is their current induction process.

The problem with the weaver analogy is that imagine the weaving machine changed the sweater slightly each time. After enough time the sweater isn't going to fit a human making it useless.
That's closer to the reality of LLMs
I would love to see LLMs used to their full potential in manufacturing, but I have my doubts when they are being used to replace human comprehension.
Time will tell!

Next person comes along and does the same thing, except now the LLM
is referencing my report based on an LLM summary. This repeats until all academic value has been drained from the source material. Are we at a net gain or loss of intelligence after this happens?

You are right that there has always been a protest to mechanising jobs. Black smiths when a nail cutting machine was invented for example.
There is a difference here since a notable portion of its function is at the academic level.
So let's say I need to write a book report, instead of reading the book I read an LLM summary, then write and publish my report.
Reading RecluseThe LLM discourse on the Fediverse has really irked me the last few days.
Refusing to read writing made with the use of LLMs and refusing to give time to writers who use, promote or justify the use of LLMs is not purity culture, it's a boycott. It's a political act of withdrawing my time, resources and support for something that I find deeply morally wrong. It's protest. I have a choice and I refuse.
LLMs are exploitative, destructive, biased, mediocre parroting machines. Using them has a negative impact on the climate, the arts, the quality of the internet, the job market, the economy, the accessibility of electronics, even on skill development, creativity and mental health. LLMs are made and trained on the unpaid labour of millions -if not billions- of people who didn't consent. Their generic output litter the path to finding anything by true human creators.
Wherever I can, for as long as I can, I reject LLMs and anything that is related to them. I'm boycotting.

You would think that if a country is banned from competing because of war-crimes, an athlete from the country getting war-crimed could memorialize the dead.
