i fell for some ai bullshit too… was trying to get help with Sandboxie running really slowly on startup. It walked me through a billion different things and by the time it suggested that I just uninstall Sandboxie and reinstall it I was too bamboozled to even bother checking whether that was a good idea or not. I just asked it if everything would still be there if I did that, it said of course it would, and then I did it. That wiped out 1TB of games I had, poof, gone. Then I told it what happened and it told me to turn my computer off and run my hard drive to the nearest drive recovery specialist. Nope, just a hard lesson learned. Even if you start out checking every little thing it tells you, eventually after it runs you in so many circles your defenses will wear down and it will fuck you.
