Doesn’t really matter when the marginal cost of the cannonball is effectively zero - I’m already paying the monthly subscription.
Then not using the canonball is just a waste of time, which is a heck of a lot more valuable than some purist aversion to using LLMs to save time and effort.
One could argue this is like paying a subscription for gasoline and saying you better use it up or it's a waste. There's an externality at play.
I know LLMs aren't as much of an environmental scourge as people sometimes make them out to be, but if they're used eagerly and aggressively, their impacts certainly have a capability of scaling in concerning ways.
Gosh I so despise this new normal. Just when I thought I could fight bloat and unnecessary tech in my own tiny corner of the world, only for a few to ruin it with ridiculous LLM (ab)use.
