1. At the same time, there’s no doubt that the AI safety argument has begun to feel a bit tedious over the past year, when the harms caused by large language models have been funnier than they have been terrifying.

We’ve seen plenty of problematic misuse of AI, particularly deepfakes in elections and in schools. (And of women in general.)
