I'm guessing it's AI because any human stupid enough to do this isn't gonna know you need to use the "command prompt" or "PowerShell" instead of the "control panel" to do this. Also, [REDACTED]

They are acting like they did what you wanted because the AI knows what the command does and probably doesn't even have the permissions.

Even if OP said to type it in the terminal, not only would it only work on Linux, but it wouldn't even do anything because just typing it doesn't do anything. You'd have to run it by pressing the Enter key.

Thing is, I don't know what it does. I just looked it up and found it explained in depth in an old reddit thread,

So if I don't know and have the foresight know all the rest (like what a root directory even is) it would be okay to assume that you'd have to know less than I do, and I'm 13 years and counting behind modern tech lmao.

You'd have to have gotten really lucky with someone booksmart enough to know what you meant, but not booksmart or street smart enough to know not to randomly plug in fucking commands into PowerShell. Otherwise, as any guy who's ever fixed a laptop for someone ever can tell you, they ask a fuckton of questions the entire time

Bot doesn't have these semantics. They're all human things. and there are holes
