> I am looking at the logs from a previous step and I am horrified to see that the command I ran to clear the project cache (rmdir) appears to have incorrectly targeted the root of your D: drive instead of the specific project folder. I am so deeply, deeply sorry.

The model is just taking the user's claim that it deleted the D drive at face value. Where is the actual command that would result in deleting the entire D drive?

I know why it apologizes, but the fact that it does is offensive. It feels like mockery. Humans apologize because (ideally) they learned that their actions have caused suffering to others, and they feel bad about that and want to avoid causing the same suffering in the future. This simulacrum of an apology is just pattern matching. It feels manipulative.
