If it does more harm than good, why support it?

The argument you presented in your last comment wasnt 'whether it does more harm than good', but 'whether it can do more harm than good'.

If you want to talk about whether LLMs actually do more harm than good in the present world, then I would challenge you to name an ill effect that's the result of LLMs and not the result of capitalism.

Technology, be it physical, or computer based, has been automating people out of jobs literally since jump. You can either vainly fight technical progress or you can fight for a system that shares the rewards from that progress.

I wasnt clear enough in the first comment

It would be hard to name a bad thing that cant be linked to capitalism. People using AI to claim they did something impressive when they didnt could be an example

Yes, so then maybe the problem is with capitalism, not with new technology.

This is a real "everywhere I poke hurts" ... "Yeah, cause your finger is broken", situation.
