If say it’s more like self driving cars knowing the speed limit but being able to go over it.
I like this analogy. The “hammer” example (that the OP used) is too simple. A hammer has a single purpose and a single functionality.
A self-driving car is closer to AI agents. The car has a purpose (to drive) but the mechanism is much more complicated than a hammer. If a driver hits the gas and drive over a pedestrian, it’s totally their fault. However, if the self driving car drives through a wall, the manufacturer should be held accountable.
Likewise with AI, if I tell it to write and ship code, which is exploitable: that’s on me. If AI decides to disregard my input and decides to delete all my emails, the developer of the tool should be held accountable.
