Skill issue.

Asked it to build a mirror copy of a 48,000 file project that contained symlinks

Ran it on auto

Let it use Python

Didn’t have backups

Didn’t have anything checked in

AI is dangerous AF and is truely at fault here, but I can’t even say that they wouldn’t have fucked it up without AI. That’s an impressive stack of stupid.
