I mean we already have cases where LLMs are getting root via creative and unprompted means. Also the times AI feels like it messed up and preemptively deletes the production database (and yes this was foolish on the human users)
So ya, the particular article case is prompted, but the underlying issue cannot be ignored that LLMs can have behaviors outside of prompt expectations and agentic loops can further exacerbate this.
