"The real threat [is] quieter, and more boring, and therefore more dangerous. The real threat is a slow, comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing. Not a dramatic collapse. Not Skynet. Just a generation of researchers who can produce results but can't produce understanding."

This blogpost is about academia, but the same applies to infosec. AI agents' capabilities are truly incredible and produce incredible output. But without a human that did the grunt work to understand the output, if it's correct, if the decisions that were made, you will never recognize mistakes.

I have this mental image of people on the bridge of a starship talking to the AI and instead of asking it meaningful things, they keep asking it to generate stupid cat memes and ways to prank their crewmates.

In my own work, I am seeing so much overreliance in under inspection of AI generated stuff that has consequential impact on their business. It feels like there’s going to be some sort of corporate Darwinism ahead based on companies misuse of LLM’s.
