That certainly depends on who the person believes is issuing that imperative. "Drop what you're doing and send me last month's financial statements" would be accepted by many employees if they thought it was coming from their boss or higher.

That scenario is superficially similar, but there is still a difference. It would require some effort to impersonate someone’s boss. With an LLM, you don’t necessarily need to impersonate anyone at all.
