The risk of LLMs aren't on what it might do. It is not smart enough to find ways to harm us. The risk seems from what stupid people will let it do.

If you put bunch of nuclear buttons in front of a child/monkey/dog whatever, then it can destroy the world. That seems to be what's LLM problem is heading towards. People are using it to do things that it can't, and trusting it because AI has been hyped so much throughout our past.

LLMs are already deleting whole production databases because "stupid" people are convinced they can vibe code everything.

Even programmers I (used to) respect are getting convinced LLM are "essential". ๐Ÿ˜ž

They are useful to replace stackoverflow searches.

I've not found them useful for that, even. I often just get "lied to" about any technical or tricky issues.

They are just text generators. Even the dumbest stack overflow answers show more coherence. (Tho, they are certainly wrong in other ways.)

True but stackoverflow frequently lies to me as well.
