>and we destroyed the value of all human labour for nothing.

How exactly does AI training "destroyed the value of all human labour" when "LLMs aren’t even the way to get to real AGI"? You could plausibly make the argument that AGI might make all human labor obsolete, but the current LLMs are nowhere close to replacing human labor. Sure, some value might be lost, but nowhere near "destroyed the value of all human labour ".

We are already experiencing how destructive LLMs have been to information, news, art, articles, blogs, novels etc... not even from the framework of money or copyright, but from the lens of culture and our daily experience. This very well means that any corporation can just suck up anything you create and crap out ten thousand times more "content" that is sanitized of all human context and meaning that buries the people who they stole from and everyone else in cheap meaningless trash. How is the inconsequential? That's massively destructive, even more so than tech already is over the past 2 decades. Of course people have a problem with that. It's not just about money or barely surviving.

>How is the inconsequential?

This is moving the goalposts. The original claim was "we destroyed the value of all human labour for nothing", now it's being moved to "it's not inconsequential "
