      LLM code can cause deaths (i.e. in hospital software), or otherwise great human or material loses (i.e., bank software or a shelter’s software), or even cultural loses (it actually does it right now, but you can also think about i.e. a museum software).

        They can only make fallacies to defend themselves.
