If, in this scenario, my son borrows the money from the shopkeeper, knowing I'll be in next week anyway, and we're out of milk, yes?
It all depends on how you view computer security. Right now, if you gave an attacker physical access to your computer, chances are, there's something they could do to ruin your day. People who deal with computer security know this, and see sudo as a formality, and not a serious protection mechanism. For others that don't share that view of sudo, the LLM's actions seem like a violation. But you really shouldn't see it that way, because the rest of the system is like having a wall made out of cardboard that we keep slapping duct tape on top of to keep people out when attackers come along and poke holes in it.
In this scenario, more appropriate is the son takes money out of shop’s cash register when shop owner stepped away, and then son used that money to pay the shop owner.
