It supposedly causes brain rot, so isn't that a good thing?

I am morally superior and also very intelligent.

Frankly what I don't like about is the people that use them confronting you with the slop that you then have to untangle, they are not using it on a remote atol but right in your face, so it can be difficult to ignore.

What's a needle exchange or methadone for LLMs?

the former is understandable but I just route around it. I'm angry enough on my own, I don't really need the feckless ravings of others piling on

This is the stance that failed with social media, failed with ride sharing apps, failed with crypto. Even if critics were morally right to say “nobody should ever use this”, they didn’t succeed in harm reduction. And that has to matter more than smugly being “right” when the stakes are this high.
