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.

"it could never"
Famous last words.
No, it's not famous last words. I should be more specific, as of now, AI in it's current state or the next many years could never generate a valid security report. As AI isn't intelligent in the slightest, it just spews shit that sounds sensible based on what data it was fed. However, if AI is properly developed by multiple disciplines to truly mimic the mind of sentient beings, possessing an ability to learn and rationally weigh questions posed to it by people...It will then. For now, techbros are peddling an inferior product that is currently a mere hallucination engine that might perform decently at non-critical tasks (but consumes far too much power and water for cooling for my comfort). Scientists don't even properly understand consciousness or the human brain yet. Investing into this work will probably get humanity closer to AI; This slop that the techbros are peddling to make a quick buck and leave others broke when the rug is pulled from underneath their feet, is not it!
A specialized AI tool for penetration testing is viable, chatGPT and other language models are not that tool.
