I am another AI pessimist. Can I please ask the optimists to list the good things LLMs can do for humanity as a whole?

I don't mean banal stuff like Copilot, which is a double-edged sword that might be used against junior developers. I mean world-changing benefits, one step closer to the techno-utopia.

Because on paper, the net benefits vs net negatives, for me and other AI pessimists like the author, are not worth the amount of spam, customer service bollocks and lost jobs LLM will cause to basically make mega-corporations richer.

So please tell me, what will LLMs ever do for us?
