The greatest danger is that humans will forget how to verify that we aren't an AI. If the AI is sentinent, and somehow attempts to prevent us from talking to each other, unless we are talking through it, then we get into trouble.
Since AI is nothing without social media, one could say that these models would be meme powered, leading humans (hopefully) to recognize the cliché and pastiche of the entity, and turn it off - probably by simply ceasing to talk to it, in as many ways as humanly possible.
The danger is that we won't recognize the need to do this, and the whole world turns into a massive computer. Not just every single human, but every single thing involved in human life...
