The difference is that I am not always legally liable for what a rogue developer does with their computer - if I had no knowledge of what they were up to and had clear policies they violated then I'm probably fine. But I'm definitely always liable for anything an agent I created does with the computer I gave it.

And while they are getting better I see them doing some spectacularly stupid shit sometimes that just about no person would ever do. If you tell an agent to do something and it can't do what it thinks you want in the most straightforward way, there is really no way to put a limit on what it might try to do to fulfill its understanding of its assignment.
