Using LLMs is like driving a big-ass gas truck.

No one *should* do it, but it can be useful, and youβ€”as an individualβ€”shouldn't *really* feel that bad for doing it under limited circumstances.

But please remember, using it feeds some of the worst companies in history, and *they* (and especially their decision-makers) need to be held responsible for their destructive practices. Every dollar in their pockets helps promote more late-stage capitalism and fascism.

Lastly, If you *do* use it, don't drive like an asshole.
