100%. The whole "terrorists can use an LLM to build a bomb" is a dumb movie plot threat. If you want to hurt people, lack of knowledge is not your problem. And nobody needs to develop a new chemical to do terrorism. All you need is readily available.

This is just "AI" labs creating imaginary issues to distract us from the real harm they cause.
I don’t understand the panic over ‘LLMs can tell people how to build biological weapons and plan assassinations’. So can Tom Clancy novels. And both sources will tell you things that are more likely to get you killed than achieve your nefarious goal.
