| > You don't decide anything. You prompt Right there. That's where you made the decision, and that's where you went wrong. >I don't think you fully understand how agents and coding assistants work. By design they are completely autonomous and work by reusing your own personal credentials. As they are completely autonomous, they can apply arbitrary changes. Yes, and someone somewhere decided to use a coding assistant that can apply arbitrary changes, knowing full well that LLMs are known to hallucinate and make mistakes, and not rarely. > Why do you even presume that people explicitly grant permissions? That's not how it works at all. How can you say this with a straight face? Did the LLM hack its way into your workflow? No, someone chose to use it. It doesn't matter that it's autonomous once you enter your prompt. That's actually all the more reason to not allow it to make changes. > If you wish to criticize a topic, the very least you must do is get acquainted with the topic. Otherwise you'll spend your time arguing with your misplaced beliefs instead if the actual problem. And if you want to argue with me, you need to actually read and understand what I'm saying. Say you're staying in the hopsital, and instead of a human nurse making adjustments to your medication, the doctor has an LLM that interfaces directly with the pharmacy and your IV pump. It can make changes to your medication and your dosage without a human ever being involved. If you overdose because the LLM hallucinated, would you consider an acceptable excuse if the doctor says "I don't think you fully understand how agents and nursing assistants work. By design they are completely autonomous and work by reusing your own personal credentials. As they are completely autonomous, they can apply arbitrary changes. I mean, nursing assistants nowadays prescribe their own meds on the fly. Why do you even presume that people explicitly grant permissions? That's not how it works at all." I wouldn't. |
