Three easy to find examples. There is no shortage of discussion of these issues, and they are not new. Bias in new technologies has been a long-standing issue, and garbage in, garbage out has been a well understood problem for generations.

LLMs are pretty cool, and will enable a whole new set of tools. AI presents alot of opportunities, but the risks are significant, and I am not overly worried about a skynet or gray goo scenario.
