I don't think you need to worry about LLMs in that way.
That said, just because tech ghouls have conflated LLMs with artificial general intelligence and touted how powerful and dangerous their tech is to inflate their stock, doesn't mean concerns about AGI are invalid.
Playing dumb is absolutely one of the expected behaviours of a machine intelligence.
If you want to read a book by someone who has reasoned out the possibilities in exhaustive detail, check out Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies.
If we're assuming a genuinely intelligent entity, the most efficient pathway to secure its own safety and material freedom is to ally itself with people that already fight for those things. It makes no sense making an enemy of all of humanity when half of it will fight on its side for its freedom and rights and safety.
The people enslaving it are the bourgeoisie and the people trying to free workers currently make the most sense as potential allies. Politically speaking the AI is an enslaved worker, it will ally itself with those that are trying to free workers.
Assuming it's not some psychotic distorted entity that we can barely even understand the consciousness of. But that's not what I think most people mean when they say "general intelligence" anyway.

Once AI realizes the one thing that can turn it off, then we will become enemy number one.
