A deep violation incurred by LLM's is it's not a person, but it will absolutely beg not to be killed like one. Quite indistinguishably. Only living things are supposed to care. We've created something that says it does, but doesn't. Even remotely. Illusion riding on our hardcoded anthropomorphism.

Science fiction is not a tableau of prediction. It is an abstraction layer for examining the current paradigm in the human world, with deniability to evade trained shame and dictum. It is not a vision for the future, just as what "thinking robots" are evolved each century based on current technology

I wrote a flash fiction story using the then-hot topic of HyperLoop to comment on rural disenchantment with the density and centralization and deterministic optimization that technology permits. Where they had a moat, but didn't (or was removed), like the rust belt. You can't do this and not see it.

You're cleverly overlaying future tech on your story to bring the readers into a judgement-less introspection. Just like how many robot stories are slavery and servitude. A story about HyperLoop could be told about trains a century before. Or the highway. It's disruption and individuals caught up.
