Meh, I increasingly hate this tale. This has nothing to do with boy who cried wolf.

This is either yet another doom ad campaign to scare us to pay them or simply them releasing faulty tools and then personifying tools to avoid blame.

I think it has plenty to do with that. The big frontier labs have been crying every step of the way, yelling and screaming to the world about how dangerous LLMs are and how quickly it all can end if they get out of control. None of that's happened; all that's happened so far is regular capitalism stuff. If LLMs ever do actually get out of control to that point, that would be the wolf, but we've all been ignoring the crying for so long that, well, you know.

They've been crying and screaming so loud for years that there's pretty much nothing more they can do to communicate when the wolf actually becomes real. They've been saying "but we actually mean it this time" every single time. They've exhausted pretty much every possible route for it. The wolf is not real. It hasn't been real. For all we know it's on the horizon, but nobody is going to listen to them in order to know that. And when they say "I told you so", well they've been saying that too over and over about small things, so nobody's still going to bat an eye.

At this point, no one will believe it until they see it with their own eyes.

They're the crackhead on the streetcorner proclaiming doom at this point.
