Because people are largely ignorant and latch onto buzzwords that the media repeats endlessly without understanding what’s going on behind the scenes.
Fascist Recommendation engines existed long before any of this LLM business.
Stopping technological progress because bad people might do bad things with it, is attacking the problem the wrong way. Stop the bad people, not the technology. Replacing jobs/reducing the burden on people to labor isn’t a bad thing if we can prevent all the riches going to a few wealthy owners.

I’m not “people”, I’m a sysadmin for a Fortune 500 company that has to put up with my bosses trying to shoehorn LLMs into everything.
Do not presume to talk down to me on this topic, I’ve been complaining about so-called “AI” chatbots since Eliza.

Why would “AI” businesses want that? Without scarcity, they wouldn’t be able to exploit unmet needs for profit.
The idea that capitalist enterprises would destroy their own shareholder value by rendering themselves obsolete is a delusion of the highest order.

Nah, you just imagine that businesses will gladly share the profits of their “labor saving” inventions rather than jealously keeping as much of it for themselves as possible. If you think you aren’t a commie then you’re just fooling yourself.

You sound like a communist.
So you are a communist, then?
