Everyone wants to be "punk" because of the cultural capital being "anti mainstream" can give but doing that with LLMs really misses the whole point.

Punk is about _DIY_ and LLMs/"AI agents" are the opposite of that.

The pitch of "You know three chords now you're in a band" and "make a zine on a copier and staple it together" was about you being able to do what you want your way. To actually empower you to explore what you can, want to, have to say and change in the world. The "output" is an accidental side effect of the exploration of self and (very importantly!) community. LLMs are about isolated creation of artifacts without relation to the process and the self.
LLM usage is by definition _anti-punk_.
