This isn’t meant to totally disagree with your point (there’s some stuff I agree with in here) but I’m having trouble seeing the point about regressions.

To use another example, a new NoSQL DB not having joins is a regression. Does that mean no one is justified in releasing a new NoSQL DB?

As long as from "NoSQL" it is clear that you mean "I can't do joins", then it is OK. I think LLMs (and similar models like Stable Diffusion) are really cool for things like fiction, but to rely on them to tell you the truth is dangerous. So I am not really sure why the models have to be trained on NYT articles in the first place.
