@pikesley Seems to be. (As in, the post exists.)

@pikesley I wouldn't doubt it. Without knowing exactly how they prompted, or what the source data looked like, can't say whether just _deleting everything_ (which this particular line appaers 2 do) at some point is valid or not.

Its one thing to ask ai to whip you up a script that does something, its another thing to execute it blindly - on an irretrievable single source of valuable data - without reviewing or testing it first.
That's... like common sense.

@pikesley Like, if the Lady of the Lake, clad in shimmering samite rose from the lake and handed you a magical sword named Excalibur and proclaimed you King, would you like, ask for a some type of confirmation before you started beheading the peasants?

@tezoatlipoca @pikesley the fact their describing it as “a Terminal script” suggests to me they’re not in any way qualified to review it, or to know that it maybe needed to be reviewed in the first place.

@jon @pikesley agreed, though I thought that Terminal might be the name for macos' default shell terminal like xterm? so I thought close enough.
