They are less useful than a Wikipedia search and a dictionary. They can functionally replace humans in 0 fields that were not already automatable by machines. They are useless in any situation that warrants any degree of caution about safety.

85-90% is way over-estimated, it gets significantly worse dealing with specific tasks. And even if it was 85-90%, that's not good enough, even remotely, for just about anything. Humans make errors too, but inconsistently and inversely proportional to experience. This makes no difference to the LLM though, it will always make errors at that exact rate. The kinds of errors it can make are also not just missteps but often pure delusion and very far from what the input was requesting. They cannot reason. They have no rationale. They're imitation in its most empty form. They cannot even so much as provide information reliably.

They also ruin every single industry they come into contact with, and even worse they have utterly destroyed the usability of the internet. LLMs are a net negative for humanity in so many different ways. They deserve as much attention and investment as chatbots did back in 2005.

Their best use case scenario is in churning out an endless amount of lifeless soleless jpg background noise and word salad articles. Their best use case is in tricking people into giving them money or ad revenue. Scamming is the only thing they are anywhere near functionally useful for.

Fascism is incompatible with any kind of freedom. Free speech is co-opted by conservatives and fascists so that they can promote bigotry without consequence. There is no reason that members of the KKK should be legally allowed to recruit people. That should be against the law. It should be against the law to promote xenophobia, racism, misogyny, and queerphobia. The only people who benefit from a system where you can espouse those beliefs without legal consequence are bigots and fascists.

Nah. You shouldn't be able to say Nazi shit in Canada without repercussions. The owner of twitter is a Nazi. It should be banned here. The free market of ideas is a lie told by Nazis to make it legal for them to recruit others into Nazism.
