An appeal of LLMs. No getting caught with their pants down. No pants.
"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did?

During the Gainesville murders, Curtis Sliwa sent a van-full of vigilantes from NYC to Florida, making a very bad thing worse. So, I do want him to lose. But also I want him to step into an open manhole & be bitten by an alligator in the sewer. On the tuchus.
