That is kind of the point of artificial intelligence though, isn't it? Reproducing human levels of understanding and initiative doesn't come without the ability to do bad stuff.

Having both human-like capabilities and a level of control closer to programming languages feels unrealistic, and I suspects the people building LLMs are aware of this.
