Several big businesses have published source code that incorporates a software package previously hallucinated by generative AI.
Not only that but someone, having spotted this reoccurring hallucination, had turned that made-up dependency into a real one, which was subsequently downloaded and installed thousands of times by developers as a result of the AI’s bad advice, we’ve learned. If the package was laced with actual malware, rather than being a benign test, the results could have been disastrous.
Imagine that.
“Writing” code you don’t understand is dangerous.
AI is the funniest shit - even better that NFTs.
i think, after the current AI bubble bursts, it will come back in a decade or so and the “I” will actually be justified.
