Oh man, do I have a bridge to sell you!
For one, the internet already exists and is better at aggregating scientific and technological information than any of us, AI included. The stuff that LLMs feed you is cut-down, diluted information that is always better-provided by a human source. You know what that means... the internet is even more dangerous than AI!!!
...but wait. The internet doesn't do anything of it's own free will. It can be used for nefarious purposes, but that requires a nefarious actor to circumvent the safety mechanisms (which usually entails breaking the law). Hm. Guess that explains why nobody got very far building Skynet.
> are you really claiming that things like electrical generating stations cannot be taken over by breaking into the computers that control them even
I don't think anyone said that, but given that humans have also been capable of this for the past 30 years it feels like a moot-point. You are describing a security issue, not an AI one.
