AI can be dangerous. The point is not that it's likely but that in the very unlikely event of it going rogue it can at worst have civilication ending consequences.

Imagine how easy it is to trick a child as an adult. The difference in intelligence between a human and superintelligent AGI would be orders of magnitude greater that that.

An actual AI (that modern tools don't even vaguely resemble) could maybe theoretically be dangerous.

An LLM cannot be dangerous. There's no path to anything resembling intelligence or agency.
