The reason I'm not maybe as concerned as many is because the more I have learned about how LLM's are created, trained, and used effectively the magic of it all has faded away. Its an evolution in computing. I still think it is up to humans what they do with technology. We are the real danger. Not the tech.
Humans are still in the driver seat but with trends the way they are that will not last long. Militaries will use AI to plan their strategies. Drones will be controlled entirely by AI. Making complex decisions that run our world will be done by AI, not humans. Humans as thinkers are quickly being eclipsed by superior machines. Look at the list of things humans do better and you will notice how quickly that list has been shrinking. The trend is clear.
As far as doubting their abilities, i.e. the magic of it all fading away, I would just suggest you consider reading Situational Awareness. Look at the data, extrapolate out a few years and the trend is clear. Just for some low hanging fruit on the subject, just see how quickly ChatGPT has advanced.
