That’s the concern with it looking like a potentially great malware vector as things move forward if people are trusting more and more things to AI generated code and not doing thorough review processes.
Kind of a sci-fi thought… what happens if AI uses AI slop code as a vector to insert subtle bits of code in multiple projects that seem innocuous on their own but are actually creating a distributed AI hive mind.
I’m not saying I think that’s what’s happening right now or that it’s possible any time soon, but we’ve seen malware inserted in apps, bitcoin mining on iPhone apps, etc. Skynet Super Claude being created without us noticing isn’t maybe the craziest thing? Someone else said this project is 57k lines of code; aint nobody got time to check all that.
In a decompilation thread I saw someone asking about potential viruses for projects uploaded from new accounts that are currently popping out all the time. someone said just ask AI to check.
Which is kind of the direction we are headed if it’s come down to ask AI to check for malware, hope AI is more competent than the AI being used to decompile things, and in the end nobody knows what is going on and have to just trust the AI is thorough and no errors or oversights are made.
Nobody really knows what is going on anymore. Not even the people who submitted the project to be made.
