I don’t think calling it a lie (vs a hallucination, or error) is necessary to assign blame. If they were instructed to use ai to deploy then that’s on management. Not having backups is on everyone, but I suspect they were backed up.

Saying, “the AI agent broke it” is just fine, but isn’t clickbait like saying it lied is. So many fewer of us would have seen this without it.
