AI is far better at security than the majority of security professionals. It is a net positive.

People constantly compare AI to this very rare expert human rather than the reality of who is already employed. Experts like you are a major culprit of this. And it puts you at odds with yourself to both admit the industry is full of subpar workers and then lament that they will be replaced with workers that are better, but still worse than you.

What is wrong with someone to make them think in this manner? Is it just a kneejerk response with little thought? Is it ego? Is it a coping mechanism? I find it very strange and interesting and annoying.

I also don’t like your framing, here.

We need experts to know when AI is wrong, which it is all the time.

Earlier this week someone commented here that we shouldn’t expect a language model to know that you need to drive a car to a car wash, to wash a car.

So then, what do we expect it to know? Who’s responsible for when it’s wrong?

Also, why can’t Mythos just fix all these issues itself if it’s so smart. And test them to make sure they work?
