I think you are the one falling into a trap about anthropomorphizing.

It doesn't matter if it "wants" something by any particular concept of "want".

All that matters is that it can act, and does act, and the actions are sometimes both undesirable for us, and uncontrllable by us.

I say uncontrollable because within certain contexts, they're not. We have to use the big red button. But if a thing that is made out of data and code can also generate data and write code, then we no longer have any big red buttons that it doesn't also have.

We have already observed actions that are dangerous. It's too late to try to say they won't happen. They have already happened. It doesn't matter that the actions were generated by auto-completing text based on pattern matching from other text.
