AI amplifies the problem.
Before AI, the idiot who accidentally has too much access probably doesn't have the ability to actively exploit it.
Given how much AI is being shoved down everybody's throats, an idiot with access now is an attack vector because they are have neither the ability nor desire to vet anything the AI is feeding to them.
