Thanks for your useful comments, I hadn't heard much discussion of the issue but I'm pleased someone is talking about it.

Wrt LLMs filling the gap, given non-techs rather wide-eyed view of what they can, or will, do, I'm concerned that the discourse will become one of "don't worry we've got ai on the job".

There is more to the LLM research going on besides chat bots like ChatGPT. Lots of much more advanced sentiment analysis, translations, etc. Definitely not saying it's perfect, but it's better than nothing. Again with the Facebook/Myanmar example, there were posts at the time that were practically "help us kill X minority group" in the native language and Facebook was powerless without automated at-scale translation and sentiment analysis. Anything is (usually?) an improvement over nothing.
