it's not subversive. it's a string, it has no effect on the code output. Only a rogue bot would interpret it as anything except a string. No human user would ever encounter an issue.

    And a line of code that deletes system32 is only meant to be interpreted by the CPU, not a human, too.

    Whats your point?

    Injected attacks that instruct an AI to perform a malicious action dont get absolved just because the attack vector us through an agent.
