The parents know the knife can be used to stab people. It’s a dangerous implement, and people are killed with knives all the time.
LLMs aren’t sold as weapons, or even as tools that can be used as weapons. They’re sold as totally benign tools that can’t reasonably be considered as dangerous.
That’s the difference. If you’re paying especially close attention to, you may potentially understand they can be dangerously, but most people are just buying a coffee maker.
