it's a threat is that employers are lowering their standards for security, and I'm expecting some catastrophic security failures, which I hope will impact the execs who made the dumb choice to trust AI more than they impact people who weren't involved in that foolish decision.
Coding is the one area in our society where AI is being adopted most rapidly, and where failures are most dangerous. There have been lots of warnings about AI code not being secure, but apparently they're being ignored by a lot of people. From the OP:
A separate survey from Sonar found nearly half of devs fail to check AI-generated code, placing their organization at huge risk.
I hope we have serious enough security failures to end this madness, without it hurting too many people.
As for "accepting reality" - reality is that the backlash against AI in education and the arts seems to be building, and will not go away. I'm still hoping to see AI writing, visual art and music becoming completely socially unacceptable, both because they're based on IP theft and because they're basically fraud.
I hope to see the insane experiment with AI in education ended before more students are deprived of learning and more teachers quit.
I still hope to see some AI bros in prison for IP theft.
Generative AI is a wrecking ball for our society and our natural environment, however convenient a shortcut it seems to be for coding, and it must be stopped. It's a technology almost entirely built on theft, and the techies I knew years ago when I first got online, and especially the comoderator I had who was a spokesman for an international organization focused on social responsibility, would have been appalled by what's happening.
And if you went back in time and told the science fiction writers at a worldcon about the hype for this badly flawed.tech, they'd laugh...until they learned it was based on IP theft.
No one in their right mind wants the.future the AI bros and this flawed technology are pushing us toward.
