My stance on #LLM :
1. There _might_ be some useful use cases with this technology that could be worth exploring.
2. However, it is glaringly obvious that, as of now, their main purpose is to power the mother of all investments bubbles.
3. Which leads us to the present trillion dollar business case for "we must build energy- and water-wasting data centers everywhere so that we can scrape every single website a thousand times a month for new training data!"
4. Thus, there is currently pretty much no ethical way of using LLMs.
5. Any ethical exploration of LLM use cases will thus have to wait until the bubble has burst, the investors have moved on to the next scam, and we can sort through the rubble to check what is left.
