> it just a statistical model, text-in, text-out (and it humans that feed the input and act on the output).

You're not thinking long-term. What happens when AI is put in charge of systems that interact with the physical world?

That is a choice a human made. Imagine if someone proposed sending the outputs of a random number generator to a space laser and had it fire at will, would we blame the number generator for the destruction it causes? You may say that LLMs are not random number generators, and I would somewhat agree, but at least in their current state and level of understanding we have about how they derive their output they might as well be.
