As soon as you send text to a text completion API, local or remote, and it returns some text completion that some code parses, finds commands and runs them, all bets are off.

All the semantics around "stochastic (parrot)", "non-deterministic", etc tries to convey this. But of course some people will latch on to the semantics and triumphantly "win" the argument by misunderstanding the point entirely.

Automation trades off generality. General automation is an oxymoron. But yeah by all means, plug a text generator to your hands off work flow and pray. Why not? I wouldn't touch such a contraption with a 10 feet pole.
