Is anyone, anywhere, compiling a list of employers who are AI-last? (#AntiLLM, or whatever phrase works for "We value people and will not be using #LLMs")

A director at work reached out to me, asking if I was interested in giving a talk promoting the use of GitHub copilot (I was asked because I had been enrolled in an optional GitHub copilot training series, even though I never attended any of the trainings).

I am, explicitly anti-llm, and I said as much, citing quality, plagiarism, their resource usage, etc.
Interestingly, this person said he found this perspective of interest to him because he hadn’t heard of these concerns before. He said he’d schedule time for us to go over this more in-depth. I hope this was something said in good faith.

Now, lazyweb, what sources do you have for a lot of these concerns and claims? Like, where does the claim that “a 100-200 word response from ChatGPT uses about 2 water bottles of water” come from?
That Microsoft paper about how llms make us think less critically is also great, and I already have a link to that.

Thanks!

@julie Fortunately, Google's answer is this non-LLM result: Pi is an “irrational” number - which means that it has an infinite number of digits. So there are no “last digits” of pi. There are more ordinary numbers (“rational numbers”) that also have an infinite number of digits - but are very predictable. Because even though I use Edge, I have Google configured as my default search engine and reject all of Edge's efforts to entice me to use Copilot. #PiDay #AntiLLM
