If you believe that there is nobody there inside all this LLM stuff, that it's ultimately hollow and yet that it'll still get used by the sort of people who'll look at most humans and call 'em non-player characters and meme at them, if you believe that you're looking at a collapse of civilization because of this hollowness and what it evokes in people… then you'll be doing that, but I can't blame anybody for engaging in attempts to prevent it.
You are stating a contradictory position: A person who doesn't believe AI can possibly emerge but is actively working to prevent it from emerging. I suggest that such a person is confused beyond help.
edit As an aside, you might want to read Don Quixote [1]
