    At least someone writing the old copy for News Corp would feel ashamed of themselves (and their existence on the planet was only mildly destructive, and they contribute back into the economy) The LLM does not feel ashamed of the fetid, diseased disinformation it ejaculates comes with a huge environmental toll without contributing to the economy.

    At least their spelling and grammar might improve. News Corp is such a low bar for replacement with LLMs. All you need is an inbox full of press releases and a prompt to selectively quote from them, giving extra glow ups to anything politically or economically aligned with the owners.
