I understand your point, but what you're describing is exactly the kind of mistake even the best human programmer could make in a poorly managed environment. I'm concerned that since AI emerged, we've overestimated our programming abilities. The comparisons we make between our own work and AI are based on an assumption of absolute perfection that doesn't exist in reality. Bugs aren't an invention of AI; they're ours. All modern software engineering, testing systems, version control systems, and so on, were developed through years of dealing with our own mistakes. We don't make systems fault-tolerant by understanding that failures are external to our work. These failures are our doing, and now they're AI's doing too. We have to deal with applying to those agents the management that we previously applied among ourselves. The example you provide is very good, because you yourself, with your human mind that solves problems, suspect that the origin of the problem was poor communication, and you are very likely right, but just as if it were a human error, the programmer is responsible for their faulty code, but you are responsible for poor process management, and yes, the same applies to working with AI agents.
