There's someone I know that jumped head-first into AI... they have embraced everything agentic. While setting up mail on their new iphone they encountered a problem. They had claude go through and do a bunch of tests against the server... allegedly. It didn't do any actual testing, though it did generate a long-winded report of what it pretended to try, fully blaming the server the whole time.

Actual problem: he typed in the wrong password



Not sure what your point is, could you clarify? Are you saying that your friend is stupid? Or do you mean Claude is stupid? Both?


Claude lies, like all LLMs today.


Oh, right. Let's throw it all in the trash, totally useless


Why would you say that? It's incredibly useful technology that also lies. It's not binary. There are tradeoffs. Just be careful.


My point is that far too many people that offload everything to AI tend to just accept the text it generates without thought or verifying what it generates.
