People comparing LLM ai models to industrialization with machines, do not understand the issue. The issue with LLM is not automation and taking place where people worked before, but it scrapes and steals data and code without respecting its license. It is unethical by principle. Unless the dataset is ethical obtain and respecting licenses. Also building cars in example is something no one can do for themselves (at least not allowed to use in streets), compared to programming who can be done by anyone and shared.

So I do not see the LLM "revolution" is the same as industrialization. These are two different issues that cannot be compared.

The Industrial Revolution was accompanied by systemic violence too.

As new economic forces pushed rural workers toward industrial cities, they often faced overcrowded, unsanitary living conditions.

Furthermore, the struggle for basic labor rights erupted into decades of bloody conflict between workers, private armies, and state forces.
