Show me how I can kill you with my LLM, or my GAN or Diffusion Model.

I dare you!

    True,—This!
    Beneath the rule of men entirely great
    The pen is mightier than the sword. Behold
    The arch-enchanters wand!— itself a nothing!—
    But taking sorcery from the master-hand
    To paralyse the Cæsars—and to strike
    The loud earth breathless!—Take away the sword—
    
    States can be saved without it!
if you have to resort to archaic writing to prove a point about the latest and most advanced piece of technology, ... you're practicing religion, not science.
Humans were not invented in 2017, nor were words or pictures.

The question of whether you can compel violence with words and pictures isn't a question about LLMs, and it is a question for which history is instructive.

The myopia of claiming otherwise is astounding.
