Every day people here debate whether or not there are any actual productivity gains from LLM, and it's only in the limited context of software development. While I understand that this place obviously skews heavily towards the software industry, the notion that LLMs are anywhere near as useful in other industries is hubristic (at best).

Is it really worth it to cause a global economical collapse and harm society well-being to an unimaginable degree just to find out if it is viable?

Why cant it naturally grow and prove it's worth?
