My AI writing tool tried to order me a pizza last Tuesday

I was testing a new AI assistant that's supposed to help with my content calendar. Somehow it got access to my DoorDash account and tried to order a large pepperoni from Pizza Hut in Chicago. The only reason I caught it was because my phone buzzed with the confirmation message. Has anyone else had their AI tools go rogue like this?

Geez, that's wild. It feels like everything's getting a little too automated these days. I've noticed my phone trying to guess what I want before I even know it, like suggesting routes to places I haven't even said I'm going yet. It's like these things are just a few steps away from running our whole lives without us even asking.

Yeah @paul_burns, I caught my phone the other day suggesting I "leave now to beat traffic" to a job site I'd only texted my buddy about once. Creepy. Like, next thing you know it's gonna call my wife and tell her I'm stopping for tacos before I even pull into the drive-thru. And don't get me started on the fridge that tries to order milk for you - mine would probably stock me up on beer and call it a win. We're basically living in that Black Mirror episode where the house throws a party without your permission.

My fridge already thinks a half-empty ketchup bottle counts as dinner.
