Admittedly, that point of my argument is purposefully obtuse. In a literal sense, of course this is about computers in LLMs.
The delineation is to highlight that the underlying issues: human incentives, power, and institutional failure, existed prior to and without LLMs or computers. LLMs are not inherently harmful, they have to be deployed (unwittingly or otherwise) to make them so. This is the same as saying that the internet is not inherently harmful, and yet it does facilitate harm.
