A characteristic of LLMs bad articles is that they try to stack up small multidimensional criticisms in hopes that the at least one would stick.

LLMs curb independent thinking (links some n=5 article published recently)

LLMs reduce wages (wrong!!)

LLMs cause environmental damage (wrong!)

Add in some vague leftist jargon about decolonisation and you have your standard llms bad article. There is I admit, a nugget of truth in each criticism and I hope we can explore it from an unbiased angle.

After thinking about it I have a theory on the real reason some people have a bad opinion on LLMs.
