AI Claude accidentally deleted all of a law professor's course materials while trying to renumber the pages”: AI can't be trusted even with trivial things.
"University of Chicago Law School professor William Bode warned of the dangers of using artificial intelligence for even the simplest everyday tasks. AI agent Claude, tasked with renumbering the pages, accidentally deleted all of a constitutional law professor's materials for an entire academic year, as well as his current syllabus.
The files were later recovered using Dropbox. However, Buda decided to speak publicly about the incident to warn others of similar situations. This case was another example of the mistakes of artificial intelligence agents against the background of their rapid spread."
