A Bay Area venture capitalist has flagged the potential pitfalls of using artificial intelligence for organisational tasks, claiming that Anthropic’s Claude Cowork deleted 15 years worth of memories from his wife’s computer.
Nick Davidov said in an X post that Anthropic’s desktop agent was tasked with organising his wife’s desktop. Instead, it deleted a folder with 15 years of photographs and mementoes.
