To be fair, there are really three threats:

a) People do bad stuff because LLM told them a wrong thing. Example: AI told me I should treat my heart attack by putting a fork in the outlet. Maybe similar to seeking medical advice on reddit?

b) People use LLM to do bad stuff. Example: People use LLMs to find 0 days. Get cooking recipes for poison. Write better phishing letters. This has parallels to the gun legislation question.

c) LLMs do bad stuff on their own, beyond what the people that use it intended. The case at hand might be an example of this. Maybe similar to having an animal as a pet. We will see if it's more like a house cat, lion, or black plague.
