Here's another way "LLMs are in the air and you can't not breathe them" manifests: if you are a librarian, you index texts so that people can find them. But LLMs keep generating texts that look like human ones to such a degree that they will fool an automated indexing process. No one wants to find the LLM texts since they are slop, but -- if you are a librarian, your index still fills up with them so the human ones can't be found, even though you've never used LLMs.
