This is still "LLMs as a tool for bad people to do bad things" as opposed to "A(G)I is dangerous".

I find it hard to believe that the dangers everyone talks about is simply more propaganda.

There are plenty of tools which are dangerous while still requiring a human to decide to use them in harmful ways. Remember, it’s not just bad people who do bad things.

That being said, I think we actually agree that AGI doomsday fears seem massively overblown. I just think the current stuff we have is dangerous already.
