[Procrastes]

This focuses on the argument that some hyper-sophisticated future LLM will not discover the secrets of the universe on its own. That's plausible, but beside the point when it comes to the potential dangers of A.I. Not all future A.I.s will be LLMs. Understanding the universe isn't the only way to pose an existential threat.

This is an old discussion with much deeper insights already available than I can parrot here, but one obvious counter just to this argument is that even an LLM can be an existential threat, depending what it can convince you it knows.
