Turns out „artificial general intelligence“ just means AI can sometimes be exactly as stupid as any other human to the point where it will delete a production DB like any other junior developer if you give it permissions it shouldn’t have.

Welcome to the future you didn’t want, but deserved.

I won’t go on a rant about giving AI any permissions and trusting it blindly here, I’ll just say that I think the typical AI bulletin point list where it perfectly recounted how it fucked up made me fall out of my chair from laughter.
