LLM owners want exclusivity for institutional expertise, among other things, so they can charge everyone who wants to access it.
Wikipedia is one of their most hated foes since it provides free knowledge to the masses. And everyone should be supporting Wikipedia for that reason.

If LLM data centres that serve generative AI platforms were erased from the Earth…
…we’d be fine.
They prop up nothing of essential value we can’t do ourselves.
If we let them proliferate for a generation, we may lose institutional expertise.
