It's not a "serious moral failing" per se, any more than it's a moral failing to use a calculator, the question is what are you using it for. If you're using it as a proxy for having a real friend or getting good at writing yourself, then that's just a sad state of affairs.
I try not to be a snob when it comes to stuff like this because I also enjoy popular movies for entertainment's sake, but I remember having a visceral reaction when I had a summer job and a guy there was a film student who said his favorite director was Peter Jackson.

As much as I don't like desecrating statues and other pieces of art that reflect a real history, I nonetheless find it strange how Southerners glorify people who lost a war they themselves started over a political policy that is self-explanatorily bad.
I will never understand why this movement is associated with fascism because it has always struck me as too norm-breaking and abstract to be acceptable for people who fetishize authoritarianism, even the innate optimism in it seems uncharacteristic of fascist movements.
The amount of people who see an LLM bugging out spewing "sinister" lines of language and thinking this is a real person talking is disturbing, the implications of people thinking LLMs are conscious beings might be greater than whatever jobs, if any, it'll make obsolete.
