The same era where Amazon would send questions about a product to other people who bought it, and they'd respond like "I don't know that, it was a gift for my granddaughter" and it gets published on the site as an 'answer'
Those reviews are the best. "I did not buy this product and I object" "My wife has complained" It's neverending
Idiots assumed Amazon was asking them specifically instead of asking everyone who bought it.
No, this is Amazon's screw up.
Explain how.
Every action that deals with interfacing with external users requires being very explicit on what is happening, and should have some kind of quality check before publishing it. Any competent dev knows this. People will find every way possible to screw something up, that's a given. It's the developer's job to prevent that.
That might be a task that AI is actually useful for.
