People who find LLMs useful when "used correctly" don’t understand that they manage to use them correctly because they spent 20 years of there life learning their craft without LLMs. LLMs is the only tool where the less you use it, the better you become at using it.

What changes with the return of Chat Control 1.0—and what stays the same

    What is coming back: US tech companies are once again allowed to scan private messages without a warrant or prior suspicion. This affects direct messages on platforms like Instagram, Discord, Snapchat, Skype, and Xbox, as well as emails via Google’s Gmail and Apple’s iCloud.
    What remains unchanged: Public social media posts and files hosted in cloud storage could already be scanned without this exemption law. Furthermore, private messages can, independently of the regulation, always be reported by users, or monitored by authorities using targeted, court-ordered wiretapping under national law.
    What is still NOT being scanned: End-to-end encrypted chats, such as those on WhatsApp, have always been exempt from these scans. Additionally, European providers of messaging and email services have never implemented chat control measures anyway.

Star wars meme. Empire soldier land to interrogate the retired general. "Mastodon? Really? Man of your talents?". He replies: "It's a peaceful life"

From: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/its-a-peaceful-life

"It's a Peaceful Life, also known as Really? Man Of Your Talents?, is a reaction image and image macro meme format using a scene from the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in which the character Galen Erso (played by actor Mads Mikkelsen) tells Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn), "It's a peaceful life," after Krennic expresses pitiful shock that Erso is a farmer"

By using GenAI:
I accept the models were trained on stolen data.
I accept that the data was labeled by exploited workers.
I accept the environmental costs of the data centers running these models.
I accept that I am outsourcing some of my skills to a company.
I accept these companies don’t have a viable business model.
I accept that I am granting more power to big tech and their vision for the world.
I accept that I am granting more power to the United States.
I accept that all this effort could have been spent elsewhere.
