The Industrial Revolution was literally “are you truly impressed by a machine that can weave cloth as well as your grandmother”? And the answer was yes because one person could be trained to use that machine in much less time than it took to learn to weave. And they could make 10 times as much stuff in the same time.

LLMs are literally the same kind of progress.

Except we are not 200 years later when the impact on the world is obvious and not up for debate. We are in the first few years where the “machine” would be broken half the time and its work would have obvious defects.

They are just saying “why don’t we all just start murdering people”. This is a common trick when you do not have strong arguments for your moral position. You just switch to defending the most extreme position and act like any move away from the point you have chosen is a vote for murder.

You don’t agree with me? Well, I guess it is safe to assume you are an enthusiastic murderer.
