My random number generator can create new output that has never been seen before on the internet, but that is meaningless to the conversation. Can an LLM derive, from scratch, the steps to create a working nuclear bomb, given nothing more than a basic physics textbook? Until (if ever) AI gets to that stage, all such concerns of danger are premature.

Of course not. Nobody in the world could do that. But that doesn't mean it can only spit out things that are already available on the internet which is what you originally stated.

And nobody is worried about the risks of ChatGPT giving instructions for building a nuclear bomb. That is obviously not the concern here.
