@cstross So the best, most "ethical" use case for AI turns out to be "scamming the scammers"!

@ErikJonker This seems to be the live question: which subset of tasks that coders do are actually made quicker or better by using LLMs, given that you have to thoroughly check every character and every step of logic in what they suggest. I know several folk who swear by it but, personally, I'm too much of a control freak to take the chance.

For those of you who use LLMs to help you code, here's a warning: these tools have been shown to hallucinate packages in a way that allows an attacker to poison your application. https://www.theregister.com/2024/03/28/ai_bots_hallucinate_software_packages/ #ai #gpt #chatgpt #security
