I see how you are trying to level the playing field and justifying that LLMs are not a product of the broader pattern and road we are going down to, but really, put the hand on your heart and pull up the same argument while recognizing how they belong to the same reality and purpose that produced all these dark patterns we are starting to have to work with these days

I'm not sure I follow your comment, but I don't think that's what I was saying.

I was suggesting that perhaps people feel so strongly about AI because it has become the lightning rod for and face of these pre-existing frustrations.

Of course llms belong to the same reality that produced dark patterns that frustrate us. There's only one reality, the one we live in. Any improvement over existing frustrations will also come from that reality.
