This AI is not very intelligent.
Writers’ rooms everywhere are in shambles as reality rapidly approaches peak comedy.
Implying writers rooms aren’t a complete fucking shambles
“This AI is not very intelligent”
Keep going dude, you are almost there.
Clearly, they forgot to add “make no mistakes” to their prompt.
Meanwhile, everyone and their dog is vibe coding applications for various homebrewed consoles. And the creators invariably get all huffy when you aren’t enthusiastic about installing a program they don’t understand and has unknown amounts of testing.
“I told the AI to test it and it reported that everything worked exactly how I wanted”.
but super intelligence
Super dooper intelligence.
That last sentence… So much lack of self awareness… People trusting black boxes yet thinking they are geniuses. Hey moron, antigravity is only very dangerous because you’re very stupid.
Also “This AI is not very intelligent”
I’m always suspicious of screenshots of posts that cut out the date and author. If anyone is curious, this is real, source is here, archived here if it gets deleted.
For bonus points, while searching I also came across this one from last year. Different scenario but similar outcome, where it wiped a guy’s drive for a routine project clean up
Knows about similar cases happening to others
Assumes they’ll be fine and freely uses slopbot anyhowLooks like the bot’s not the only thing lacking intelligence here.
the fastest way to uninstall a program is to wipe the entire drive
You kid but the fastest modern way to “wipe out” a phone or an encrypted hard drive is to destroy its encryption key. It shouldn’t last more than a few milliseconds.
Some modern hard drives transparently encrypt all data with an internal key, which can be erased with a special secure erase command. Comes in handy for wiping drives without spending hours overwriting the enire disk.
How does a hard drive include enough processing power to encrypt/decrypt things without having any impact on read/write times?
What do you mean? Even a $1 microcontroller can do stuff like that nowadays.
Dedicated chips are really fast! They do one thing fast.

Sandboxing wouldn’t have helped as he asked to create an executable that deletes files. It’s not the agent that deleted the files but the “uninstall” routine in the compiled program that deleted everything.
With such a generic prompt I wonder what kind of mess it has generated.
Probably such a program didn’t need an “install” or “uninstall” routine, as simple programs are portable, don’t need to leave libraries on the disk. He even didn’t know that uninstall and install are the last thing you do in a program, and It’s not integrated in the code, but it’s packaged after the build with third party stuff like nsis or innosetup
It should have uninstalled only the files that were installed on the drive, not the entire drive.
I get the vibes of a devil or genie: “You didn’t specify”
All files are installed in the drive. Where else would they be?
They’re in the computer?
These slopstitutes really think they’re developers but they haven’t heard of the 3-2-1 backup method
Three copies, two different media, and one should be stored in sight at all times, right?
I always consider the “1” to be stored off site
That is how the saying goes. Never heard someone said in-sight. That is super silly. It’s off-site in case of massive disasters like the place burning down or nearly burning down but getting damaged by water used to douse the flames.
Successfully uninstalled! test passed.
Oh boy! A golden opportunity to trot out this classic again.
(Myth 2’s initial version, which was released to retail in a time when patching games over the internet was not quite as viable as it is today, let alone distributing them via the internet, had a bug which would delete the entire contents of your machine’s C: drive if you uninstalled it when installed to any directory other than its default. Truly, to err is human. But to really fuck up you need a computer.)
Ah, the times where a massive bug that wipes the users hard drives can’t be patched and you need to almost bankrupt the company to recall all the printed copies
ai will be fully mature when it uninstalls its users.
