Malware (a portmanteau of malicious software) is any software intentionally designed to cause disruption to a computer, server, client, or computer network, leak private information, gain unauthorized access to information or systems, deprive access to information, or interfere with the user's computer security and privacy without their knowledge.

Calling this malware is like calling a DDOS attack hacking.

People have been warned about the fact that there is the potential for an AI LLM to take direction from text without the user's knowledge since this tech hit the mainstream. Additionally, it's also not malware when Alexa responds to its name while you're watching a YouTube video.

These people infected their own computers with software that could be externally controlled on purpose. The LLM might be considered malware since it's working as designed, but the plain English isn't.
