the article on how ai could be harmful seems more like people trying to use the tool (LLM) to do evil things. You can also do evil things with other tools than AI.

A powerful AI can greatly enhance the power of individuals and small groups.

In a free society, preventing harm from a malicious individual or small group would be much harder.

Yes, it would also extend the power to do good. But reversing serious damage is often impossible even with great power.
