He may be correct in that this has already happened previously to other companies so they were forewarned and took basically no steps to mitigate the chances or protect their backups.
The AI company bears some responsibility for the act because they programmed it. But the company using the tool also didn't take the precautions they should have taken.
AI is crap and companies shouldn't be so gung ho about it, because this and situations like it appear to be prone to happen if for no other reason. But any tool you don't respect will bite you eventually.
I was talking about how they don't even consider blaming themselves lmao.
Using most random & unreliable tools known to man was their decision after all.
But they can afford learning nothing I guess.
