As I have said repeatedly, I regard LLM output as harmful, in general.
This is not just my weird opinion.  There are a number of studies that
show extremely alarming, and surprisingly rapid, cognitive degradation
and psychological harm in LLM users.  We don't really know yet whether
that damage is reversible.

Obviously not all LLM output is equally harmful but I very strongly
wish to minimise my exposure.  Given that almost all uses of LLMs are
unethical because the LLMs themselves are produced by such highly
unethical means, I feel this is a very reasonable position.
