I think the idea of a machine that feigns intelligence is the opposite of progressive.

As individuals, the ideas and experiences of others should inform, but not solely dictate, our own views, right? Therefore, someone who spouts nothing but the ideas of others, even if citing each one, is unwilling to think for themself. If that person doesn’t cite their sources, it means they’re unoriginal and a plagiarist.
If we want progress towards a better world, LLMs are the last things we need. A black box that dulls our minds by pretending to be “intelligent” when it could never possibly be so while causing copious damage in every sense of the word doesn’t sound like progress to me. At best, it’s what mainstream social media algorithms do, but on steroids, and while social media itself isn’t evil, those absolutely are.

Maybe calling all LLMs fascistic is an exaggeration, just like equating fascism with capitalism. Two different words exist for a reason, they are different ideologies, but the latter always benefits/leads towards the former, and LLMs share that relationship with fascism.
