You forgot: "We have had 10k years to develop systems of governance that mitigate human prompt injection."

But the rest of your list is bang-on.

And quite a bit longer than that even for the human brain to convolve safely with its surroundings and with other human brains.

One yet further objection to the many excellent already-made points: the deployment of LLMs as clean-slate isolated instances is another qualitative difference. The human brain and its sensory and control systems, and the mind, all coevolved with many other working instances, grounded in physical reality. Among other humans. What we might call “society”. Learning to function in society has got to be the most rigorous training for prompt injection I can think of. I wonder how a LLM’s know-it-all behavior works in a societal context? Are LLMs fun at parties?
