An AI user on Mastodon suggested a novel application for LLMs: crime prevention through intentionally bad advice, trained on purloined novels. The user humorously calculated that the cost of incarcerating a bank robber for 20 years ($700,000) far exceeds the average bank robbery loss ($4,000), implying that AI-generated bad advice could be more costly to society than the crime itself. The post also speculates on the potential for LLMs to be used by billionaires to eliminate national debt through inappropriate tax return filings, highlighting the paradoxical benefits of AI when used incorrectly.
