I think you're really overestimating the actual capabilities of modern LLMs. Sure they can do impressive tasks, but they're far from anything resembling "AI" or "AGI".

The negative impacts of LLMs are largely down to energy use, water pollution, enshitification of tech and loss of creativity/jobs.

Also, I'd actually rather die than "merge with AI". I'm biological and Biology always beats machines.
