I think the issue here is less about AI misbehaving and more about people doing things they should not be doing without thinking too hard about the consequences.

There are going to be a lot of accidents like this because it's just really easy to do. And some people are inevitably going to do silly things.

But it's not that different from people doing stupid things with Visual Basic back in the day. Or responding to friendly worded emails with the subject "I love you". Putting CDs/USB drives in work PCs with viruses, worms, etc.

That's what people do when you give the useful tools with sharp edges.

I'd argue that back in the visual basic/Delphi day, there was a minimum level of competence needed AND, more importantly, apps didn't have as much surface area because they weren't exposed to internet

Particularly ironic for a doctor to have done this, given all the complaints about patients using Google (even pre-AI)!
