That is a very valid and reasonable opinion, sorry to see it downvoted.

There will be strong disagreement with you, however, on the case that LLMs are a big enough resource hog to require outright banning for just that reason.

If you are looking for Big Tech hit boxes, try for things like writing laws that require all energy consumption in datacenters to be monitered and reported using established cross-disciplinary methods.

Or getting people to stop buying phones every year. Or banning disposable vapes.

It's an opinion, but it's hardly valid. It's a knee-jerk fear reaction to something new.

People had the same opinion about computers, cellphones, even electricity...

All opinions are valid. Not all opinions contain facts. All opinions contain assholes.

VALID - (of an argument or point) having a sound basis in logic or fact; reasonable or cogent.

No, not all opinions are valid.

You’re right, there are NO valid opinions, my bad.

“An opinion is a judgment, viewpoint, or statement that is not conclusive, rather than facts, which are true statements.”

You can have an opinion that is grounded in basis of logic or fact.

In my opinion, the sunset appears pinky/purple. The basic foundation of this opinion (which others may disagree with due to slight variations in atmospheric conditions) is still rooted in fact. Someone else may think it looks red/purple. Both are basically correct, reasonably speaking.
