Has your bank asked you to sign a new set of terms and conditions with warnings about how they may not cover losses due to the use of AI agent generated transactions on your account?
(If you signed such a document when opening your bank app or website without reading every word... this is likely why.)
@futurebird So avoiding online banking all this time is finally paying off?
@futurebird Not yet, and it's a moot point anyway: there's no way I let a bloody LLM get near my wallet!
Personally I feel this is an un-discussed change that ought to result in more people pausing to think.
Imagine if banks said "do not shop online at all" back in 2002. The so called next big thing? It's just not safe enough for regular folk to use.
@futurebird Question: my transactions or theirs?
This was a long legal notice about "don't give your login to a third party app and authorize it to make purchases or transfers... we won't stop you but if you do we can promise we can help if your money is all gone"
@futurebird I definitely got an email saying "dear gods don't give Claude access to your banking acct," but I don't remember if there was a ToS change snuck by me.
