Why are you writing in this defensive manner? The post isn't an anti-AI screed, it's a "I screwed up, here's what I did and how to avoid it."

You say "Not really sure what the lesson would be here", but the entire contents of the blogpost is a lesson. He's writing about what he changed to not make the same mistake.

There is a total mismatch between what's written and how you're responding. We don't normally call people idiots for trying to help others avoid their mistakes.

The culture war around AI is obliterating discourse. Absolutely everything is forced through the lens of pro-AI or anti-AI, even when it's a completely neutral, "I deleted my data, here's what I changed to avoid doing it again", where the tool in question just happens to be AI.

I didn't take it to be defensive. A bit tongue in cheek, but not defensive. I think the person you're responding to has a good point though. AI or not, you probably shouldn't futz around with prod before doing so in a lower env. Guardrails for both AI and humans are important.
