I can think of several anti-LLM sentiments right now:

- developers upset with the threat of losing their jobs or making their jobs more dreadful

- craftspeople upset with the rise in slop

- teachers upset with the consequences of students using LLMs irresponsibly

- and most recently, webmasters upset that LLM services are crawling their servers irresponsibly

Maybe the LLMs don't seem so hostile if you don't fall into those categories? I understand some pro-LLM sentiments, like content creators trying to gain visibility, or developers finding productivity gains. But I think that for many people here, the cons outweigh the pros, and little acts of resistance like this "poisoning well" resonate with them. https://chronicles.mad-scientist.club/cgi-bin/guestbook.pl is another example.

You forgot the big one, every head of the major AI companies had dinner with a fascist the other day, and we already know they have their thumbs on the scale of weighting responses. It's more reasonable to say that the well is already poisoned.
