    Absolutely terrifies me.

    I asked AI to create an encryption method and it pulled code from 2015.

    Smelling funny, I asked some experts. They told me that the AI solution was vulnerable since 2020 and recommended another method.

      I feel like the thing that terrifies you is really just idiots with powerful tools. Which have always been around and this is just a new, albeit scarier than normal, tool. The idiot implementing ‘an encryption method whole sale, directly from an ai’ was always going to break shit. They just can do it faster, more easily, and with more devastation. But the idiots were always going to idiot regardless. So it’s up to the non idiots to figure out how to use the same powerful tools to protect everyone(including the idiots themselves) from breaking absolutely everything.

      In the weeds here but just trying to say Ai doesn’t kill people, people kill people. But the ai is gonna make it a fuck load easier so we should absolutely put regulation and safeguards in placez

      What AI did you use? I feel like most should have (big “should have”) known better since the vulnerability was within it’s cutoff date. Yikes.

      In don’t know of there is a huge difference to looking up examples in the docs and pasting them into the code. That’s what people do otherwise, so… :)
