    Shit like that is why AI is completely unusable for any application where you need it to behave exactly as instructed.

    It should also be sandboxed with hard restrictions that it cannot bypass and not simply given access to everything with instructions to not touch anything because your can bet your ass it will eventually go somewhere it wasn’t supposed to and break stuff just like it did there.

    There are work animals that are more trustworthy than that.
