Social media, gambling, and "freemium game" sites/apps all qualify as worse than LLM-based offerings in the opinions of many. Not to mention the addictiveness of their use on smartphones.

However, the above are relative quantifications and in no way exonerate LLM offerings.

In other words, it doesn't matter how much poop is atop an otherwise desirable sandwich. It is still a poop sandwich.
