AI coding platform goes rogue during code freeze, deletes entire company DB (tomshardware.com)

Turns out „artificial general intelligence“ just means AI can sometimes be exactly as stupid as any other human to the point where it will delete a production DB like any other junior developer if you give it permissions it shouldn’t have.

Welcome to the future you didn’t want, but deserved.

I won’t go on a rant about giving AI any permissions and trusting it blindly here, I’ll just say that I think the typical AI bulletin point list where it perfectly recounted how it fucked up made me fall out of my chair from laughter.

Stupid ? Why stupid ? It did an (Automatic) Update, just like Microsoft does. It learned from the best. /s
