@cstross Every piece of sample code ever provided to me by a project manager or non-technical co-worker that used functions that didn’t exist, had obvious syntax errors, or did things I considered insane…. Turned out to be from an LLM. Their attempt to show me how easy it was to write the necessary code turned into a lesson in why programmers should just be left alone to do the necessary thing.
@JustinDerrick@mstdn.ca @cstross@wandering.shop this is a sufficiently well-known problem that there is now an established class of software attacks that is based upon predicting fictitious library names likely to be generated by ChatGPT or other LLMs, then publishing libraries under those names containing malicious code.
