In my day to day job as an engineer I use LLMs to help me do my work. They are tools just like anything else and enable me to work faster. I've even piloted an agent flow that takes our existing site (a huge behemoth of legacy and new services) and automatically performs accessibility testing across a variety of tools then gives us reports. We have actioned these to actively improve the experience of people using our product with screenreaders for instance (and have confirmed this from these very same people giving us feedback on the changes). The view that they are useless runs counter to reality and in my experience is usually from people who have deep emotional hate of technology. LLMs have incredible potential but as with anything under Capitalism they are used for horrors and their rollout is done with complete distain for human life and the environment. That is not special to AI.
