The hate comes from the people whose lives are being made materially worse as a result of the prominence of LLMs

They're incredibly inefficient environmentally, causing companies to want to do nothing but build increasingly loud, power-hungry data centers.

They've only exasperated the K shaped economy we currently live in where the ownership class takes everything, and everyone else gets crumbs.

All the while LLMs produce misinformation, lifeless "art" and propaganda almost exclusively.

Machine Learning was useful, LLMs are slop machines that make everything worse.
