If they are advertised as being great for running and walking, but they are objectively terrible for running?
You can use them all you like, but the company that sold them to you mislead you. That's false advertising. If you call them running shoes, they're bad running shoes.
Sure, but false advertising has nothing to do with how good an invention is, that's a marketing problem.
I bought a thing that said it was good for A and B but it's only good for B. Marketing problem! I didn't make a bad decision! I wasn't tricked! I'm a smart boy!
Alternate take: I want something that does B, so I research methods of doing B and find one that's good. Good thing I'm a smart boy that doesn't make purchasing decisions based on what the marketing department says things do.
There's plenty of good reasons to criticize or be concerned about LLMs. You don't need to make up dumb ones.
