Why letting Claude clean your TV's bloatware isn't the best idea - Engadget

Engadget reports on a case where a developer gave the AI agent Claude full access to a smart TV to “debloat” it, after becoming frustrated with unwanted apps and advertising software—even right out of the box. The developer, Mert Cobanov, said in a post on X that the TV now runs “better than ever” and shared his workflow with followers. However, the article cautions that automatically debloating a device via an agent may be a bad practice: AI agents can make mistakes and are less likely to admit when they don’t know what to do. It suggests alternatives for streamlining a TV without delegating control to an autonomous agent.
