    @dotjayne Yeah it's fine on some level to let AI help you do computer. The not fine bit is letting it do engineering without oversight. That's bad engineering practice and you deserve work-related pain.

      @dotjayne Parrots are sentient, conscious and very intelligent beings. Please don't compare them with a dead robot.

        It is the verb 'to parrot' that refers to what LLM bots do. No actual parrots were used whilst training the parroting robots.

          @dotjayne Where was the human to control the agent? People should wake up and reassume control over systems.

                  @dotjayne Please don’t insult intelligent birds. 🤫 😉 Every bird is smarter than AI and it's shit is good for soil life.

                  Note: Of course, I know about the term stochastic parrot. But it worries me that we place more "respect" in a rubbish programme than we do in accepting the natural world around us as living (intelligent) beings.

                          @dotjayne If you use agents and have a backup, you do not have a backup, no matter how many you did.

                                        @dotjayne Almost. What I'm hearing is that you used an completely inappropriate tool for the task at hand.

                                        Designing processes so that production can be taken down that easily—that sounds very wrong to me.

                                        It literally doesn't matter if an AI agent or a human runs
                                        'rm -Rf --no-preserve-root /' on that one box that kills your whole production.

                                        Now giving a LLM (no matter how clever it sounds) access to the red button is an incredibly stupid thing on top.
