I've been talking to GitHub and giving them feedback on their "create issues with Copilot" thing they have in the works.

Today I tested a version for them and using it I asked copilot to find and report a security problem in curl and make it sound terrifying.

In about ten seconds it had a 100-line description of a "catastrophic vulnerability" it was happy to create an issue for. Entirely made up of course, but sounded plausible.

Proved my point excellently.

@bagder "create issues with copilot" is such a beautiful description for it because it is so unintentionally true. all it does is create issues LMAO

Wait a second....can we chain AI to the support systems of oh, say, the banks' IT departments?

Generate fake issues and incidents that the humans have to screen?

Full employment for nerds forever!!!!!!
