How about you give it access to your email and it signs you up for the extra premium service from its provider and doesn't show you those emails unless you 'view all'.

How about one that willingly and easily impersonates friends and family of people to help phishing scam companies.

Hard to prevent that when open source models exist that can run locally.

I believe that similar arguments were made around the time the printing press was first invented.

Phishing emails don’t exactly take AGI. GPT-NeoX has been out for years, Llama has been out since April, and you can set up an operation on a gaming desktop in a weekend. So if personalized phishing via LLMs were such a big problem, wouldn’t we have already seen it by now?
