That's why I hate when people retort "GPT isn't even that smart, it's just an LLM." Like yeah, the machines being malevolent is not what I'm worried about, it's the incompetent and malicious humans behind them. Everything from scam mail to propaganda to law enforcement is testing the water with these "not so smart" models and getting incredible (for them) results. Misinformation is going to be an even bigger problem when it's so hard to know what to believe.
I'm even more afraid of the competent evil people
Also "Yeah what are people's minds really?". The fact that we cannot really categorize our own minds doesn't really mean that we're forever superior to any categorized AI model. The mere fact that right now that bleeding edge is called an LLM doesn't mean that it cannot fuck with us - especially if it is an even more powerful one in the future.
