Recently, Google debuted a new AI tool that helps people write code. It also helps people destroy their hard drives, though that’s not one of the features they’re advertising. Wonder why!

According to the subreddit r/Google_Antigravity, the tool is still very much a work-in-progress. People claim that the code it writes can corrupt files, it tends to delete things it thinks are unnecessary (even when they are very much necessary), and it also loves to add pages and pages of AI-generated notes into the code.

It can also, occasionally, just wipe your whole drive.

One user on the subreddit recently made a post titled, well, “Google Antigravity just deleted the contents of my whole drive.” The post attempts to investigate how this even happened, with the user pointedly asking the AI, “Did I ever give you permission to delete all the files in my D drive?” (For those curious, the AI says the user did not and that doing so was a “critical failure on my part”).

Why didn’t this user just remove his folders from the computer’s recycle bin? It seems the AI agent wiped that, too. The user tried to tell the AI this — then hit his quota limit for the model and had to wait for it to reset.

Welcome to the future, baby!
