There's been a lot of chatter about AI vulnerabilities. I'm a nobody but I have been around a bit. This seems like a bunch of the same stuff just shifted into new fears. "AI is going to replace programmers!" No it didn't. I mean, it has... currently. But everything is burning down. Business will either rehire their teams or new teams will form to replace broken businesses. "AI is going to expose all the vulnerabilities!" Wouldn't that be useful if it was true? If it's so easy for AI to do it, why isn't it being done already by the teams paid to do it? Perhaps it's because I'm not "in the know" or something. I'm happy to be dissuaded, but it feels like instead of a single vulnerability report we're getting an ocean of the same low-priority reports.
