LLM do not have any opinion.  You do.

Consider this: it does not matter if you walk, bike, or car - you will get
from A to B.  The story you tell about the moments between will be
different based on the mode of travel.

Once you tell your story, LLM can turn it into more or less.  For some, the
original is incomplete - and LLM fills the gap, sometimes with
hallucinations.

Really though, do you care enough about it to follow through?
