Likely public condemnation followed by unreasonable regulations when populists see their campaign opportunities. We've historically seen this when new types of media (e.g. TV, computer games) debut and there are real, early signals of such actions.
I don't think those companies being cautious is necessarily a bad thing even for AI enthusiasts. Open source models will quickly catch up without any censorship while most of those public attacks are concentrated into those high profile companies, which have established some defenses. That would be a much cheaper price than living with some unreasonable degree of regulations over decades, driven by populist politicians.
