It's fair to say that the environmental and ethical concerns are significant and I wouldn't look down in anyone refusing to use AI for those reasons. I don't look down on vegetarians or vegans either - I don't have to agree with someone's moral stance or choices to respect them.

But you're right, LLMs are full of crap.

    LLMs definitely are full of crap. But that isn't the point of them (even if some corporations make it seem like it is)

    They are supposed to be used for text generation. And you are supposed to read through everything afterwards to correct any hallucinations.

    It can't work on its own, and make mistakes about 30% of the time.

    But there are use cases where that isn't a problem. Use them as inspiration for creative writing prompts for example. They are crazy good at that.
