Is it just me that would like to see more of confirmations before making opaque changes to remote systems?

I might not dare to add an integration if it can potentially add a bunch of stuff to the backing systems without my approval. Confirmations and review should be part of the protocol.

Yeah, this was my first thought. I was watching the video of it creating all of these Jira tickets just thinking in my head: "I hope it just did all that correctly." I think the level of patience with my team would be very low if I started running an LLM that accidentally deleted a bunch of really important tickets.

Yeah. Feels like it's breaking some fundamental UX principle. If an action is going to make any significant change make sure that it fulfills at least one of these:

1. Can be rollbacked/undone

2. Clearly states exactly what it's going to do in a reviewable way

If those aren't fulfilled you're going to end up with users that are afraid of using your app.
