It is a tool in a tool box. If a technician avoided a tool outright, I would (and do) question their biases.

Every technician or craftsman develops some strong opinions about which tools are good tools and which tools are bad tools.

Some tools should be avoided outright, because they're bad tools. You can hammer nails in with a rock, making it a tool, but I wouldn't question the biases of a craftsman who avoided using rocks in their work. I use LLMs for work, but your statement here doesn't hold water at all.

A nuclear weapon is a tool in a tool box. And nobody's used it since WWII for a good reason.
