    I guess my opinion will be hugely unpopular but it is what it is - I’d argue it’s natural selection and not an issue of LLM’s in general.

    Healthy and (emotionally) inteligent humans don’t get killed by LLM’s. They know it’s a tool, they know it’s just software. It’s not a person and it does not guarantee correctness.

    Getting killed because LLM’s told you so - the person was in mental distress already and ready to harm themselves. The LLM’s are basically just the straw that broke the camels back. Same thing with physical danger. If you believe drinking bleach helps with back pain - there is nothing that can save you from your own stupidity.

    LLM’s are like a knife. It can be a tool to prepare food or it can be a weapon. It’s up to the one using it.

      Healthy and emotionally intelligent humans will be killed constantly over the next few years and decades as a result of data centers poisoning the air in their communities (see South Memphis, TN), not to mention the general environmental impacts on the climate caused by the obscene power requirements. It’s not an issue exclusive to LLMs, lots of unregulated industries cause reckless amounts of pollution and put needless strain on our electrical grids, but LLMs definitely fit into that category.

        Agree, but then you would need to count a lot of things, and many of them would be general mass comodity like cars, electricity, heating… besides LLM’s being the new thing killing us, we have stuff killing us for ages…
