Word! I wouldn't even say that LLMs and other generative AI are a problem*. Locally run, i.e. in the hands of the people, and used on the right task, they can be a great tool! People are just fed up with centralised oligarch tech shoved down their throats in pursuit of the Epstein class' pipe dream: lay everybody off, automate (almost) all production and keep the profits to yourself.

* well, as long as you don't look to closely at how they were trained in the first place...

It's probably an llm doing the speech to text on your phone.

They're actually kickass for low stakes translation of natural language.

It's fucking stupid to use them to generate computer code listings based on pretending you're talking to a person.
