What I don't get is why anyone would want to allow the automation. Is it really that difficult to use the up-arrow key and correct the mistake? Doing something automatically when it's sort-of correct is a recipe for doing things you didn't intend to do.

Double this. If I don't type the command that I want, I never want my computer guessing and acting on that guess. Favors like that are why I hate Microsoft Word ("Surely you didn't mean XXXX; I'll help you by changing it to YYYY. Oh, you did it again, and in the same place? Well, I'll fix it again for you. High five!")
Things seem to be going in that direction with LLMs, unfortunately.
