Okay, okay. I need to devote some time to catching up on genAI capabilities in a professional sense.

Security Researchers & SecOps - what's your favorite use case so far?

Also, what's a lesson you learned the hard way?

***Also - please save the snark. I'm tired, and this is a genuine, if hesitant, ask.

One of my professional networks - filled with actual practitioners - is substantially less negative on AI lately. There's spend and craft involved, so it's not a turnkey solution, but a lot of folks in this trust group are finding substantial productivity benefits, rather than hype.

@neurovagrant bluntly, these people are delusional.

I have seen LLMs stacked against well established ML systems. Because the decision was made (incorrectly) that LLMs would be 'cheaper.'

They were quite literally multiples more expensive. And the results went from 97% accuracy to <70%. Getting it anywhere near the same level of accuracy would multiply costs again.

@neurovagrant and it wouldn't surprise me if most of them have no existing ML, or their ML was ineffective nonsense.
So they're quite literally incapable of seeing that they're wasting multiples for below acceptable results. Or they've gone all-in on the psychosis thinking LLMs are good at regexps (they are absolutely not.)
