Thank you. Yes, I'm going to refrain from airing out my dirty laundry. I made a bad decision, now I'm living with it, and more context doesn't actually change the intent behind my message: these tools are dangerous. Getting better, but still dangerous.

That’s not entirely true, as it’s currently impossible to actually gauge the severity of what the LLM seemingly enabled you into doing. There’s a difference between “I uncritically accepted everything it told me because it lined up with what I was hoping to hear” and “it subtly nudged me towards a course of action that was going to be obviously unwise after some consideration, but managed to convince me to skip this”; and also between that and “I took a risk, which I knew to be a risk, and which I knew to potentially expect to go bad, and the LLM convinced me to take it where I otherwise wouldn’t have”, and ALSO between that and “I took a risk, which I knew to be a risk, and which I knew to potentially expect to go bad, and if I’m perfectly honest, I might’ve taken it anyway without the LLM”.

Without any indication as to how your situation maps to any of these (or more), the warning is, functionally, not particularly useful.

Exactly all of this - I didn't have my popcorn out, I was genuinely curious about the nature of the risk being discussed. I find the post basically worthless without context - a wood stove is dangerous if you place your hand on top of it while its hot, but not in the same way a grenade is dangerous if you accidentally remove the pin without understanding the consequences..

Yeah, my first thought (admittedly an absurd one) went to something along the lines of:

"I flipped a coin and the LLM called heads. I should have gone with tails..."

Was it a blatantly bad idea or was it some risk that triggered that would have been beyond your typical risk threshold otherwise?
