No, the AI did what you told it to do. The AI didn’t do anything on its own.

I'd say yes and no. The LLM reacted to the input that was given but it is not possible for a human (especially without access to the weights) to even guess what will happen after that.

Regardless of that I agree that it's completely the fault of the user to use a tool where you can't predict the outcome and give it such broad permissions and not having a solid backup strategy.

Either don't use non deterministic tools or protect yourself from the potential fallout.
