Man, AI agents are remarkably bad at “self-awareness” like this, I’ve used it to configure some networking on a Raspberry Pi, and found myself reminding it frequently, “hey buddy, maybe don’t lock us out of connecting to this thing over the network, I really don’t want to have to wipe the thing because it’s running a headless OS”. It’s a perfect example of the kind of thing that “walk or drive to wash your car?” captures. I need you to realize some non-explicit context and make some basic logical inferences before you can be even remotely trusted to do anything important without very close expert supervision, a degree of supervision that almost makes it totally worthless for that kind of task because the expert could just do it instead.

AI agents are remarkably bad at “self-awareness” Because today’s “AIs” are glorified T9 predictive text machines. They don’t have “self-awareness.”
