>I almost agree with all of the LLM critics

That seems unlikely given the diverse nature of mutually exclusive opinions that exist out there.

Critics seem to run the gamut from LLMs being incapable of even the most basic of functions to already sentient creatures secretly plotting our destruction with steganographic messages to each other.

It's maybe a bell curve with some wacky at those tails, but there's some fairly significant differences of opinion amongst the positions that are more mainstream.

Just the difference between critics of all LLMs and crutics of all closed weights models are a pretty big gap.

Similarly for those who criticise them for over censorship vs those who criticise them for unrestricted generation.
