We also have the power of the vote, at least for now. I understand that that is limited, but it isn't nothing.
There is also just the power of having a lot of people. We don't yet have the technology where one person with a lot of machines can dominate a society. It still takes people.
The entire exercise is to counter the claim that AI means every script kiddie with tokens can just have their AI create an exploit, and then have their AI scour the internet for vulnerable endpoints. If that were true, then the exploit has very little value, because everyone could make one.
In addition, the claim is that these exploits will all immediately have a thousand bots using them to exploit every possible website, and you can't leave your website vulnerable for a second or it will immediately be owned.
The fact that that hasn't happened to this server already proves the point. Whether professionals can create an exploit from the vulnerability was never the question.
The fact that you keeping your exploit secret means anything already proves their point.
Sure, but LLMs do ask some questions already, and there is no reason to think they can’t keep getting better at knowing the right questions to ask.
Humans also often fail to do this well, and I think we all have experience with developers who do a very poor job at understanding what is actually being asked of them.
Maybe LLMs will never become as good as an expert developer at being able to suss out what someone is actually trying to do when they make a request, but it is certain LLMs will become better at it, and there is no reason to currently believe they couldn’t eventually become as good as the best humans eventually.
Now, the entire world can share the same piece of gossip, and it takes on an entirely different quality when it is global instantly.
