People have been using various chemicals for cleaning and knives for cooking for thousands of years. They are embedded in our culture. LLMs only became popular a year ago and the farthest back you can go with their origins is the 1950s. It is not at all unreasonable for people to say "hey should we require that this new tool have safeguards built in so it isn't horribly abused?", especially when you consider that these are not just tools that have been fashioned from the natural world, these are products provided by companies that are in some cases gleefully amoral. A space moving quickly is reason for more criticism and caution from the general public, not less. And if safeguards cannot be put into place by design into your tool, then that is malicious design
