Do people also make it their personality to "worship the sphere Earth theory"?

I mean, the AI hate is unfortunately really justified, for so many reasons. And I say this as someone who appreciates how useful LLMs are at processing language, especially those of the programming variety.

There's the whole billionaire techno fascism trying to use AI as a tool to further enslave us. Or those same people stealing people's work illegally and profiting off of it. The entire consumer tech market being destroyed. The environment. The tax breaks and subsidizing small communities pay to prop up data centers. Those same communities paying more for utilities, while they still CAN afford them. Brain atrophy. The issues the education failing to keep up. Misinformation. Fraud. The list goes on, so so many terrible things.

But yeah, for people who already understand how programming works, it can definitely help save time and effort.

Does the cost outweigh the benefits?
