Or perhaps the problem was that AI companies have sold LLMs as intelligent agents, and not word generators?

Humans will continue to mistake these 'agents' for agents with agency and understanding because of the way they are sold and described.

So are you saying that if they were intelligent agents rather than word generators, they wouldn’t make mistakes like “send a message to the wrong (similarly named) group”? Are humans intelligent agents?

Exactly this. Why does nobody blame the company advertising "connect your financial & health data to our model"?

Why is it that somehow LLMs are given full clearance to dox, hack, spam, and scam without any liability?

I expect people to do at least some due diligence, and adults to be skeptical about lofty claims in marketing.

		That creates incentives to lie, A/B test your lies and when they finally work, blaming everyone but the liar.
