@4ebb1885 There was a tremendous public benefit to mobilizing society. While I use LLMs and am skeptical of the gold rush we are seeing today to control LLMs, I do not see the same public benefit for everyone as other technical revolutions. The potential for misinformation and harm currently has no ceiling though. 

 @4ebb1885 I think there was criticism, but the benefit to people who literally never left their hometowns or states was rather life changing in ways that GPT chat bots are not.
