alt Hacker NewsHence why I said the studies here are quite old, and I'd like to see something more recent, though I guess it'll be some time before that's done.
I think most people writing code with AI nowadays will find it's still lacking in some areas. Not because the model isn't good (definitely miles ahead than what we had access to in 2022-2023), just because it wasn't actively mentioned and so the model skipped over it. The same will apply to security.
I'd also love to see recent studies. It's frustrating how even new studies end up using models which are behind the frontier at the time of publishing.
AI is advancing faster than academia can keep up. Which in general shouldn't matter. But you have this pattern where a paper comes out with a conclusion that just doesn't hold anymore by the time it's read, but people use it to form/support opinions.
