   even if you think it's fine to use LLMs for something like coding it's critical you understand how widely the tech is being deployed in human-to-human cases where it's egregiously unfit for purpose, frequently in ways that are outright insulting and disrespectful.
   if you find the backlash scary, regressive, or excessive you have not made sufficient effort to understand peoples' very real and legitimate anger, and that is a moral failure on your part.

     you also need to reckon with the fact that even if you know exactly how the tech works and clearly understand its limitations, an overwhelming majority of the people making policy decisions that affect millions of other humans do not. they believe all the mystification and lies and consent-manufacture, from the worst most self-interested people, about how the tech works, what it can and can't do, and what its potential is. your being "smart enough to see through the hype" doesn't count for much.
