"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

If the false positive rate is lower than random chance, it could still be useful for finding vulnerabilities. Just have a human confirm and fix them. And run it locally on solar power.
That’s not the point. The point is that anybody can use it to find vulnerabilities, even if exploiting them and not fixing them is the goal.
Sure, but that's true of open-source software in general, and it still ends up being more secure than the alternative in most cases.
This has existed (for software and websites) for decades. They were used for mass sending useless reports to everyone with an available security contact.
The only innovation is it wasting even more time by making up plausible sounding issues.
