Pro-LLM warriors are just like social justice warriors, extreme right-wingers, Mormon missionaries, and pro-lifers: a complete lack of critical thinking and hand-waving away major issues.

I was pro AI early on, but things have changed. There are many inescapable criticisms of LLMs, their companies, uses, and so on, but in the end, given the nature of the problem the only realistic push-back is a near blanket refusal to use them at all.

Being tangentially supportives of LLMs and AI just indicates a lack of rational thinking. Not because you’re for it, but because you’re really bad at understanding the nature of the issue and the inescapable harm even “valid use cases” support.
