    The copium in the reddit thread is hilarious.

    “The issue is that you had a space in your path name”

    No, the issue is that the AI wiped an entire drive! 🤣

      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.

          How would you feel if you bought a hammer and then it broke your hand?

          You wouldn’t feel anything at all, because it’s an inane scenario that can’t actually happen without you misusing the tool.

            If someone told me the hammer was safe and I hit something with it, the temper was bad, it shattered and cut me, and it was established to be deliberate deception beyond even negligence I’d want my pound of flesh yeah
