    I mean, a lot of the people pointing that out are actually doing so to indicate the dangers of relying on AI in the first place.

    If you read some OPs replies it becomes clear that what happened here is they asked the bot how to fix something, didn't understand the instructions it replied with, and then just went and said "Hey, I don't get it, so you do it for me."

    Anyone who knew what they were doing would have noticed the bad delete command the bot presented (improperly formatted, and with no safety checks), but because OP figured "Hey, knowing stuff is for suckers", they ended up losing all their stuff.

    How would you feel if you bought pharmaceuticals that promised to heal you and they made you sick? What about a ride at a theme park with no warning signs that failed and hurt you?

    The whole marketing thing of these garbage devices is based around abusing trust. There are no warnings that you need to be an expert, in fact they claim the opposite.

    The person is a rube, but only evil people abuse the trust of others and only evil people blame people for having their trust abused. Being able to trust people is good actually, and we should viciously beat to death everyone that violates social trust.
