Even if current models never reach AGI-level capabilities, they are already advanced enough to replace many jobs. They may not be able to replace senior developers, but they can take over the roles of junior developers or interns. They might not replace surgeons, but they can handle basic diagnostic tasks, and soon, possibly even GPs. Paralegals, technical writers, many such roles are at risk.

These LLMs may not be inherently evil, but their impact on society could be potentially destabilising.

How is it evil to displace jobs? Why should we fight for keeping humans in jobs that machines can do?

I'm not saying there is no evil, but that argument at least holds little ground.
