Its media creating a new boogie man. LLM and AI gives regular people a lot of crazy power and creative ability that can challenge current power dynamics. So media is making sure regular folk fear the shit out of it.

We've reached AI is coming for the children articles. AI is stealing your jobs. AI is going to murder your favorite comedians. AI will turn you into a battery. Everyday its some fucking new fear mongering headline

LLM and AI gives regular people a lot of crazy power and creative ability that can challenge current power dynamics.

My view is opposite in that LLM and AI will further entrench the skewed power dynamics, as only really the big companies like Microsoft, Amazon and Google can fully exploit it, drive and and afford it. Sure I can run some LLMs on my computers at home, but you really need access to a lot of data and computing power to create the models in the first place.
