We haven't even discussed as a society what might go wrong with LLMs, and we're already seeing what is going wrong. That's how hard we failed as a society.

What does "discuss as a society" mean? Pass regulations? Religious doctrine? Warfare?

Maybe not sneaking huge concessions to AI in omnibus bills would be a start.

Not getting teachers in trouble when they can clearly tell their students are submitting AI essays.

But we're still just letting kids use their phone in class, and our lawmakers are just learning what Facebook is. AI is going to "happen" to us, we are not serious enough to discuss it.

I think that is the role speculative fiction, like sci-fi, takes.

As Asimov and Roddenberry envisioned it, yes. Certainly not as the drivel that carries the sci-fi label today.
