The "it is just a tool" talking point is very fashionable right now to pretend that plagiarizing material is still a meritocracy.

I don't agree, LLMs/AI does definitely have agency.

Maybe not the same agency you would expect from a human being, but if you put them in a ralph loop they can go far, far away, and mostly because on how we build our world in the pre-llm era: do you need to order something (or you want to hire a hitman)? -> you can go do it on a web site or via whatsapp or by calling some API.
