Your average reader cannot (and will not) delineate between AGI and an LLM -- I think your concerns are misdirected. If the average person hears "Google AI person left Google to talk freely about the dangers of AI", they're thinking about ChatGPT.

On some level, that is exactly my concern. If the public thinks ChatGPT is an AGI, it is going to be very difficult to convince them that actually ChatGPT is vulnerable to extremely basic attacks and shouldn't be wired up to critical systems.
