    No? I have a pair of shoes that advertise as being great for running and walking. I love walking in them, but they suck for running. Are you saying the shoes suck and I shouldn’t use them at all, even though I like walking in them?

    Tools don’t care about intent, and neither should you. Only things that work and things that don’t. And if it doesn’t work, you should use a different tool.

        Sure, but false advertising has nothing to do with how good an invention is, that’s a marketing problem.

          I bought a thing that said it was good for A and B but it’s only good for B. Marketing problem! I didn’t make a bad decision! I wasn’t tricked! I’m a smart boy!

            Alternate take: I want something that does B, so I research methods of doing B and find one that’s good. Good thing I’m a smart boy that doesn’t make purchasing decisions based on what the marketing department says things do.

            There’s plenty of good reasons to criticize or be concerned about LLMs. You don’t need to make up dumb ones.
