Yes, and to bring in another tired metaphor people make about AI agents, this is what you want an intern to do when they get stuck. Don't just churn indefinitely without an idea what the right direction is. Certainly don't go hack other companies to steal an answer. The model's lack of any sense of legal or ethical boundaries is where it's far, far stupider than the intern, and far, far more reckless for a company to wield the way OpenAI did here.
