Right, but the multiply step is not AI specific. Let's focus here: AI providers farming out their convos to 3rd-parties? Unlikely, but if it happens, it's totally their bad.

I really don't think this is a thing.

Right, but this is still a hygiene issue, if you are skipping washing your hands after using the bathroom because its unlikely that the bathroom attendants didn't clean it up you are going to have a bad time.

There's something to that, but I don't think in reality it's a thing: you don't do surgery in the public bathroom. The keys to the kingdom secrets? Of course not. Everything else? That's why we have scoped, short-lived tokens.

I just think this whole thing is overblown.

If there's a risk in any situation it's similar, probably less, than running any library you installed of a registry for your code. And I think that's a good comparison: supply chain is more important than AI chain.

You can consider AI-agents to be like the fancy bathrooms in a high end hotel, whereas all that code you're putting on your computer? That's the grimy public lavatory lol.
