There is nothing inherently bad with LLMs as a technology -- the issues are because nothing with LLMs happens in a vacuum. The big AI companies are building and using LLMs in the most unethical way possible. Get rid of the waste, theft, misuse, abuse, and generally insanity around LLMs and you're left with a powerful tool.

Whatever comes from it at that point is on the people using it. The hammer isn't bad because some idiot is trying to drive screws with it.
