Every time I read an article/paper/etc about "AI Safety" it always rubs me the wrong way. I think the reason why is these articles always completely discount user agency, that is they assume you will ask the AI for help with a thing and will be completely at the mercy of what it outputs.
IMHO I think that we should spend less time obsessing about "AI Safety" and more time educating users about the limits, pitfalls and drawbacks of using LLM's. The way I look at it is since AI models are trained on internet data, the same rule of "don't believe everything you read/see on the internet" should apply. Just because a layer of abstraction has been applied to that data does not mean that the rule no longer applies.
