This isn't 100% true though. The issue is that someone does speak to them, tells them to do something, and it sees the best available option as "release deadly neurotoxin" then it'll do that if it has access to deadly neurotoxin, which it doesn't yet
This isn't personifying it or anything to say that this could be an issue. If some dingbat(see, most people involved in LLMs) gives it access to deadly neurotoxin, or traffic lights, or nukes, or missiles, or a store PA system it could quickly and efficiently kill and/or annoy large volumes of people before anyone could see that it launched the nukes to fix a bug
If somebody plugs the random number generator into a nuclear weapon, the human is still responsible. Kindergarteners aren't inherently violent, but there's a reason we don't just distribute knives and tazers to them.
Yeah that's basically what I just said
I want to join in on rephrasing what you said but in more silly terms
If you hook up a See and Say to the nuclear triad and pull the string, just because the duck says "nuclear launch detected" doesn't mean the spinning farmer is plunging us into nuclear Armageddon, it's the dipshit failson that decided to hook up a toy to the keys to hell and then pull the string.
Picture below because it's cute
now i want three starcraft see and says
Nuclear launch detected.
