How do you verify what AI agents actually did? Reddit debates the trust gap

A Reddit user highlights a core tension with AI agents: their productivity comes from delegating and walking away, which means you rarely verify the work line by line.
- Example: asking an agent to harden a fresh Linux server (firewall, user management) — how do you confirm nothing was missed that you wouldn't have missed yourself?
- The poster says this verification gap is the main reason he avoids using AI for critical, security-sensitive tasks
- The thread sparked community discussion on agent auditing and trust mechanisms
