And what if we connect the chatbots up to all sorts of APIs to perform a million different tasks, and embed them in all sorts of products? Then it will become much more than generating some text when prompted. The LLMs will be in continuous use, with various feedbacks in play. For a Chinese military supremacy scenario, it would be hook the AIs up to all sorts of design, manufacturing, hacking and information warfare processes. Likely this would also secretly include biological, chemical and nanotech lab research as well. That sounds a little scary. It could even just be a stealthy/offensive enough missile design that could justify a first strike. And there's no reason other capable governments won't do a similar thing if we're entering a new arms race. Will it matter so much when a democratic nation achieves supremacy, if the AI is busy designing devastating weapons in a semi-automatic, recursive fashion where nobody really understands the full potential? We're fortunate so far that nothing has triggered a nuclear war.
