The biggest corollary to AI is the printing press, whose invention was followed by decades of religious wars because its “early adopters” used it as to mass distribute the violently anti-Semitic ravings of Martin Luther. Eventually, we arrived at widespread literacy and the greater distribution of knowledge and skills we see today, but it was a quite bumpy and deadly ride to get there. The greatest threat facing us is state, corporations, or rogue cells doing a repeat of the above with LLMs. Arguably this has already happened to a lesser extent with things like QAnon and social media. I don’t think you can put the genie back in the bottle, but also we must acknowledge that “progress” has often come at a quite steep cost.
