Can you truly brick a computer just by adjusting GRUB? Seems like a very fixable problem for someone who can make an LLM rush bash commands. Then again, that is a supremely dumb thing to do.
GRUB works so well that the average Linux user likely never has to think about its inner workings. Even installing Linux has become extremely easy, like unless you use something like Arch Linux. So, its actually quite likely that somebody who writes a program that runs bash commands would not now how to maintain GRUB.
