If you're running a business I agree it's a no-brainer, but the context here is for personal projects.
A discovery by a giant is in some sense a new base vector in the space of discoveries.

Swedish politician Ebba Busch used LLM to write a speech. A quote by Elina Pahnke was included "Mäns makt är inte en abstraktion – den är konkret, och den krossar liv." (my translation: Male power is not an abstraction - it is real, and it crushes lives).
Elina listened in on the speech and got surprised :)...
Ebba apologized, great, but it begs the question: how many quotes and misguided information is being acted on already? If crucial decisions can be made off incorrect decisions then they will. Murphys law!
