I’m curious what makes you a supporter, as you say? Supporting the companies that make them or the developers themselves pushing the technology forward or the impacts of the proliferation of the LLMs’ usage or something else?

I’m a supporter of the technology and believe it is transformative.
Transformative implies neither good nor bad. You started this thought in your original comment re social media and how that's now possibly perceived as a net negative, despite the original aims of its inventors.

Is there something someone could hypothetically tell you about how AI/LLMs as a technology might come to be understood as a net negative that would sway your support?

For full disclosure, I sit on the other side of this fence, with a constant concern of the issues that we will see arise. As an exercise, I try to imagine how these issues will be outweighed by the positives, though it's a challenge tbh.
