I can think of some runaway scenario's where LLMs are definitely bad but, indeed, this particular line of criticism is really just luddites longing for a world that probably doesn't exist anymore. These are the people who regulate and legislate for us, they are the risk-adverse fools who would rather things be nice and harmless lest they be bad but work. Personally, I think my only serious ideology in this area is that I am fundamentally biased towards the power of human agency. I'd rather not need to, but in a (perhaps) Nietzschean sense I view so-called AI as a force multiplier to totally avoid the above people. AI will enable the creative to be more concrete, and drag those on the other end of the scale towards the normie mean. This is of great relevance to the developing world too - AI may end up a tool for enforcing western culture upon the rest of the world but perhaps a force decorrelating it from the McKinsey's of tall buildings in big cities.
