Thats the reasoning behind the disclosure bit, I agree its a tool, and great when used correctly.
But if you try and use a hammer like a drill, you're gonna have a bad time.
It is not 'just a tool.' It is not "great." Too many people focus on how it is used and not how it is created, how it affects us, and how it affects the world.
I'm just going to shortcut this and say two things:
I can guarantee the overwhelming majority (if not all) of your issues have nothing to actually do with LLMs and everything to do with corporations. Power use, data center buildouts, market impact, whatever - none it is an an llm problem. LLMs are just another piece of software, thats all.
Your personal opinion on this, as well as mine, does not change the overall conversation here. So how about we just stick to the topic at hand?
