Here's a fun AI story: a security researcher noticed that large companies' AI-authored source-code repeatedly referenced a nonexistent library (an AI "hallucination"), so he created a (defanged) malicious library with that name and uploaded it, and thousands of developers automatically downloaded and incorporated it as they compiled the code:

nostr:npub1hykucplphuhelaxutcw4jw3vuu7gcg42czhqmk7jhchs8vdga4fsj73p33 thanks for sharing. That's a very good summary explanation of the challenges of AI /Llm.

If you wouldn't trust your dreams, you shouldn't trust AI.

That doesn't mean AI is useless, though.
