An LLM is gonna convince you to treat your wound with quack medics instead of seeing a doctor, which will eventually result the limb being chopped to save you from gangrene.

You can perfectly use an LLM to attack someone. Your sentence is very weird as it comes off as a denial of things that have been happening for months and are ramping up. Examples abound: generate scam letters, find security flaws in a codebase, extract personal information from publicly-available-yet-not-previously-known locations, generate attack software customized for particular targets, generate untraceable hit offers and then post them on anonymized Internet services on your behalf, etc. etc.

The act of generating content is not the attack on someone.

That would be like saying if I write something with and paper but not expose anyone to it that I attacked someone.
