LLMs are largely a way to launder bias and copyright infringement.

I'd like to think that libraries, archives and museums and the communities
they serve have thoughts about that.

Libraries in this part of the world are attempting to deal with holding and
presenting content that is inherently colonial, racist and bigoted in ways
that benefit those on the opposite end of the power relationship. It's very
hard to see LLMs playing a very large part of that.
