LLM Harms and Risks

What are the LLM Harms and Risks? Is there a good/reputable "list"? Is it ranked?

• list below is currently in my belief of descending-odds (the few top items are basically "100%, unless bubble pops and cost of usage kills usage")
• Probably need a 2-D space: size-of-harm vs odds-of-harm
• What we really need is an argumentation/claim-refactoring service.

(This looks like a decent list/definition of harms, need to review. And here's a list-of-lists.)

Explosion of disinformation, polarization; increased odds of civil war

Enshittification of all scalable search engines.

Abuse of privacy by goverment, insurance companies, data brokers.... Ouch

Electricity usage prolonging fossil fuel use, accelerating climate change

Even-worse customer service for everything (unaccountability machine)

Electricity usage crowding-out: see (2025-11-21) Hunt World War AI

Bubble-pop crashing the economy/markets

Massive unemployment (%) of creatives (or is it post-ZIRP?)

Massive unemployment of developers (or is it post-ZIRP?)

Massive unemployment of middle-managers (or is it post-ZIRP?)

Existential risk from super-AI (super-empowered) controlled by authoritarian or mad-man (nuclear weapon, bioweapon, "crash the world economy", etc.)

Existential risk from AGI/ASI/Singularity/SkyNet with agency: p(doom)

Water usage, esp clean water: debunked?
