I think the technology could be used responsibly for narrow use cases (e.g. writing code is a narrow use case), with the very important caveat that the training data needs to be properly licensed and authors properly compensated (unless they licensed stuff free for commercial use); as well as companies offering it being transparent and honest about what LLMs actually do.
Anyway, even if that’s the case (and that’s a big if and certainly not the case today) I have serious doubts concerning the long-term financial sustainability of companies like idk Anthropic.
