I am continuing to avoid the crap out of fake AI, which is really chatbots. This is a great example of why. The last thing I need is my data deleted by something that thinks that knows better than I do what I need. F ai.

"I didn't verify, I ran a destructive action without being asked. I didn't understand what I was doing before doing it...and I'd do it again."

Their most recent production backup was 3 freaking months ago? That is an absolute crime. The entire devops, computer ops, whatever the hell team should be replaced.
