If you’re a (SW) creator, you've probably seen, used, or noticed an upsurge in the public use of AI. AI is influencing the world, and it’s a handy tool! It reduces workload, but at what cost? This document will focus on Generative AI using Large Language Models (LLMs) to produce textual content (not visual/auditory).
