I am very tired of making the point that the known negative effects of LLM usage and funding/support are so extreme that there is no hypothetical amount of “usefulness” or “productivity gain” that can so much as justify experimentation with this technology.
It is simply ethically beyond the pale and I have a very hard time respecting otherwise intelligent peers who make an explicit choice to ignore all those harms because they have a massive boner for “fun new tech”, regardless of where it comes from.
Simply put, “Is it useful” is not a conversation worth even having and you suck for dragging it in that direction
