I'm working on the front end of a transcription app. It's a lot of moving buttons and labels around to get them where I want, but there's no way I would ever be able to do it with a keyboard as fast as using an llm. Are we putting ourselves at a competitive disadvantage to big tech et. al. by being anti ai purists?

It doesn’t have to be either/or.

You can use LLMs as a tool and never touch Big Tech. You can use them for utilitarian purposes, without getting all cultish about them. You can actively hate “AI” while doing this.

Honestly, I think Big Tech is stoking the “Pro AI” and “Anti AI” divide, because what they’re most scared of is the public viewing it as yet another dumb automation tool. That would obliterate their business. They want the public to see it as an “all-in-with-us-or-nothing” affair, kinda like they did with social media.
