They add capabilities not replace.

They poison all repositories of knowledge with their useless slop.

They are plummeting us into a dark age which we are unlikely to survive.

Sure, it's not the LLMs fault specifically, it's the bastards who are selling them as sources of information instead of information-shaped slop, but they're still being used to murder the future in the name of short term profits.

So, no, they're not useless. They're infinitely worse than that.

Hear me out, Eliza. It'll be equally useless and for orders of magnitude less cost. And no one will mistakenly or fraudulently call it AI.
