You can’t prevent it without regulations. Companies won’t care while gaining money from it unless they’re obligated to, and even then, some won’t comply either.

BTW, that mentality of “other countries vs mine” is absurd. War crimes shouldn’t be committed by a country just because the other commits them; others bad ≠ I good.

LLMs can’t and should NOT replace a human, at least not yet (they’re not even that good either). If we can’t have guaranteed basic needs such as housing, food and healthcare or a BUI, then they should not keep leaving people without jobs because no one will be able to afford anything.

That’s what they do for the metro system in Monterrey and some public lights (couldn’t find an English version of this info.): :

Ironically, Monterrey still has a lot of metallurgy, cement industry and car-dependency that doesn’t help this kind of projects.
