Exactly, but this has some scary implications in the future - imagine when it is common pratice to allow AIs API access as a matter of course...

Imagine that these prompts are not triggered by humans anymore, but by the AI invoking itself.

Sam Altman takes comfort in the thought that their AI does nothing without a human prompting it, so it has a human in the loop, as a circuit breaker if you will.

This assumption is rapidly becoming a mere hope, as right now probably hundreds of developers are working on systems which, when put into production and connected to other systems, might just come down to: the AI is calling itself, and giving itself orders.
