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.

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.

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