They are more comparable to a computer worm than anything else. Very strange (and disrespectful imo) to make the jump to slavery. A gun can’t be used at all inside it’s safe so I’m not sure that makes sense. A better metaphor would be making sure gun ranges have backstops capable of stopping contemporary payloads and sufficient range controls to keep people from shooting at cars on the highway. Outside of that you need registration requirements and gun control to make sure you can mitigate and track down perpetrators of gun crimes off the range. If they’re to be used in active conflict you need laws of war to govern the use of lethal force. If you use them to hunt, you need a hunter’s safety card and a current tag.

A gun cannot fire unless someone loads and triggers it, an LLM cannot operate computer unless someone translates what it said to shell scripts. An LLM is super comparable to a gun, not a computer worm which is consistently dangerous.
