> There is currently no way to prevent this apart from not giving the LLM full control. It will not delete what it can not delete.

But deleting something is just one action you might not want it to take.

The recent "agentic" craze is fueled by the narrative pushed by companies and influencers alike that the more access given to an LLM, the more useful it becomes. I think this is ludicrous for the same reasons as you, but it is evident that most people agree with this.

We can blame users for misusing the tools, and suggest that sandboxing is the way to go, but at the end of the day most people will favor convenience over anything else a reasonable person might find important.

So at what point should we start blaming the tools, and forcing "AI" companies to fix them? I certainly hope this is done before something truly catastrophic happens.
