TBF people like Eliezer warn about the general threat of AI, not LLMs. Not just isolated AI systems either, but the societal forces that lead to it. Strong AI is the result of a civilization developing it and being dependent on (sub-components of) it and that's where the interesting/dangerous parts of the narrative begin. If you've got untold billions being spent over many decades with a significant percentage of the world's smartest people obsessing over it you _are_ going to get something and characterizing that something in advance does not seem like a completely idiotic thing to do.
