Evidence-free? Did you even skim OP's list? Healthcare/Social damage: we already have peer reviewed studies on the potentially negative impacts of LLMs on mental health: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10867692/ . We also have numerous stories of people committing suicides after "falling in love" or being nudged to do so by an LLM. Energy/Resources: do I even have to provide evidence that LLMs waste enormous amounts of electricity, even leading to scarcity in some local markets, and even coal power plants being turned back on? Those are just the ironclad ones, you can make very good data privacy and national security arguments quite easily as well. | ||

Yes, if you want to be taken seriously, then your claims about this should be based in evidence and contextualized amid the overall energy market. | ||
