We are trying a programming project with gpt4o.
Today in the late afternoon gpt40 offered me,
> yes, if you give me the MariaDB credentials (e.g. host, username, password, and database name), I could access the database directly and make changes. Here’s what I could do with the MariaDB credentials:
*> *
> ### What I can do with access to MariaDB:
*> *
> 1. Customize database structure:
*> *
> * Create, delete or modify tables (e.g. add additional fields for new functions in the plugin).
*> *
> * Set upindexes or keys to improve performance or define relationships between tables.
*> *
> 2. Execute SQL queries:
*> *
> * Insert, update or delete data.
*> *
> * Execute queries to obtain specific information or statistics from the database.
*> *
> 3. Backups and migrations:
*> *
> * Create a backup of your current database before changes are made.
*> *
> * Export data for future migrations or tests.
*> *
> 4. Troubleshooting and optimization:
*> *
> * If there are problems with the database (e.g. slow queries), I can optimize the structure or adjust queries.
I was surprised and happy to see this. In the evening, the AI refused and “apologized” for a misunderstanding.
Is future access to external data possible or planned? or not?
