Argument by authority. Who uses LLM’s for what has no bearing on whether their net causal impact of them is sufficiently good for society to justify their continued existence or not.
Slash and burn farming is great - for the farmer doing it. Robbery is great for the robber, fraud is great for the fraudster. I didn’t pick robbery or fraud as random examples either.
You misunderstood what I just said. The three things I used as examples have plenty of results - positive ones even - for the people doing them. It’s just that they have an even greater negative impact on everybody else. And exactly who is burning the trees they just cut down, robbing the bank or defrauding their marks has no bearing on that either way.
AI is genuinely useful. You don’t have to trust me for it. Linus Torvalds uses it too.

More like argument by results. Linus isn’t slash and burn farming. He’s using it to find pernicious bugs in a fraction of the time.
