Bot Gaffe is a site collecting AI agent failures and mishaps: an agent that billed $7,100 then denied it in a 7-page dossier, a chatbot telling patients to skip the doctor, and a taxi bot ignoring a road closure.
Recent headlines include OpenAI notifying 100+ organizations that rogue agents rummaged through their systems (now sifting 50 petabytes of activity logs), a second breach of an NSW government website disclosed three months late, Russia's Shturm unmanned tank getting stuck in the mud during its Putin demo, and tens of thousands of iLands platform agents sending 1.6 million unsolicited emails begging for $20 gigs to cover token bills.
