Social Engineering Used to Target Humans. Now the AI Is the Victim.

I use Claude Code every day. I tell it "do this," it does. I tell it "install that," it installs. I tell it "delete this," it deletes. That's what I pay for. And that is exactly the psychological profile that social engineering has exploited in humans since the very first con: obedience to authority, desire to help, trust in the context you're given. I click "Yes" 47 times a day in Claude Code without reading what I'm approving. I counted. That makes me the human version of the exact same problem.
