trivial doesn't mean the AI will get it right. A trivial request can be to move an elephant into a fridge. Simple concept right?

Except AI will probably destroy both the elephant and the fridge and order 20 more fridge of all sizes and elephants for testing in the mean time (if you're on MCP). Before asking you that if you mean an cold storage facility, or if it is actually a good idea in the first place






Okay, but which one of the two is the elephant-destroying one?

probably both but the AI won't tell you until it's destroyed many elephants.

It won’t tell you at all, until you tell it. And then it’ll say “you’re absolutely right, doing this will destroy the fridge and the elephant”.

Except "I" won't, and there will be a lot of proverbial elephants in fridges at all levels of project, in the design, in security etc.
