It's like anything else. The question is probably is a net good. Which no one can say right now. Will LLMs cure cancer or be used in Defense industries. The answer is both. But when you think about it, modern medicine originates as an invention of war, the original idea was to come up with better ways to treat injured soldiers. If you find a cure for disease while trying to wage war, and then that cure saves millions of people, you can't say the war was good. But if it's going to happen, there should be some benefits from it. I have a piece of paper and a pen. I can write a nice letter to a friend, send it and brighten their day. Or I can use it to write a really mean letter. Do we say pens are unethical ?
