    If we’re talking only about LLMs, then probably the biggest issues caused are threats to support line jobs, the enshittification of said help lines, blatant misinformation spread via those chat bots, and a variety of niche problems.

    If we’re spreading out to mean AI mor generally, we could talk about how facial recognition has now gotten good enough that it’s being used to identify and catalogue pretty much anyone that passes a FR-equipped security system. Israel has actually been picking civilian targets via AI. We could also talk about “self driving” cars and the compeletely avoidable deaths they’ve caused. We could talk about how most convolution network AIs that identify graphic imagery and other horrific visuals use massive sweat shops to sort said graphic images for pennies. We could also talk about how mimicry AI has now been used to create both endless revenge porn of unwilling victims, and also faked the voice of others to try to scam them or make them not vote. There’s plenty of damage AI as a whole has done, even if LLMs are the most minimal of all of them.

      A lot of what you’ve mentioned has existed for decades in some fashion. It’s just code.
