It is like the machine in industrial revolution stayed and flourished, yet the child labor and unfair labor practice are being fight against.
Clearly, this is not a justification for current LLM system or those feeding it. I feel it is important to keep these companies accountable for the crime they have commited.
In the long run, I feel it is also important to think about what do we need to do to keep LLM working for humanity, and organize to make that a reality. If that requires complete removal of LLM as a technology, so be it; but I am not entirely convinced we even need to go that far.
