The consequence of viruses for me is that I completely avoid anywhere that could give me a virus. No amount of antivirus protection gives me confidence in pages/downloads that feel unreliable.

I think there will be a similar arms race that’s lost from the start. Especially once they develop one of these for LLMs, it’s going to instantly limit them to empty entertainment which costs OpenAI a lot of money to generate. Like we currently see with legal/academic uses, it will hallucinate nonsensical facts until it’s as limited as earlier chatbots. They’ll eat their own tail trying to combat this poisoning and the product will only degrade as a result.
