There's a difference between "I'm willing to exert myself to help people" and "I'm willing to exert myself so that somebody else can slap their name on my effort and make money, then deny me the right to do the same to them".

Also, at a social level - the worst kind of user has always been a help vampire, and LLMs are really good at increasing the number of help vampires.

Maybe we should hype up LLMs more so the help vampires and LLMs can keep each other busy?

An ungodly amount of paid software is built on the back free stack exchange answers. Complaining about lack of compensation for answers that ultimately lead to revenue was just as valid 20 years ago as today.
