Apart the expertise, is hard to say if is best to be an optimist and hope for the best, or to be a pessimist an hope being wrong.
Anyway i suspect that one true risk, among others, is to loose the true ability to think, if we delegate on a large scale to some LLM the production of the language, because the capacity to use our languages IS the capacity to think, and bad use of technology is a norm in recent (and not so recent) times.
I suspect LLM (this kind of LLM) does not really -generate- (this will be intelligence?), but only mimic on a vaste scale, but nothing more.
If our brain/mind is a result of a long evolution, where this LLM are not, builded only on the final results, the language, this will be a great difference in the inner deep working, so the question is: we are feeding in our minds a massive amount of nothing more than our same intellectual productions, recycled, and nothing more? (apart all the distorsions and biases?)
A parallelism i see is in the social-networks: simply, humans cannot sustain a indifferentiated and massive amount of opinion/information/news (apart all the fakes).
Even the small scale message communication is impacting the abilit of understanding long texts..
Even it there LLM are -benign-, sure their (indiscriminare) use will not cause some troubles in our beings? On a scale as big as this i an not sure at all.
im' not sure i'm expressing my doubts (and without using a LLM) clearly enough...
