It’s important to state it plainly, regardless of what you think about the long-term utility of LLMs, what they are currently being used to build are primarily for-profit propaganda machines which will be used to replace educators, technocrats, social workers, & journalists.

So they are creating the illusion of a substitute, which will actually practice indoctrination & intimidation.
They're not even profitable yet. Most of the money that's in these AI services is purely speculative value
That’s what the authoritarian government is for, to give tech companies & their investors the money due to the labor forces being eliminated.
