If you want to democratize and empower underrepresented/marginalized people in tech - LLMs are not how you do it, and are an utter failure to do so.
We already know how to do that, more effectively, without supporting fascism, burning down the planet, and staining your hands with so much blood - You give those people computers they can do stuff with, education, and enough free time and security in their lives to actually do stuff with them. (+ accessibility features if they need them).

The chatbots fail this on every measure - they've driven hardware costs up, so computers are harder to get. They're closed proprietary bullshit (even the 'open source' ones are proprietary - if you don't have access to the full training data and paremeters, it's not free/libre or open.), they are activily detrimental to learning and developing new skills, and they do nothing to address the insecurity, precarity, and overwork that is pervasive in the lives of basically every marginalized person.
