This is a scary idea...AI whips up some code, it knowingly or unknowingly injects malware, the dev vibe-code pushes the commit and BOOM! Talk about a Trojan Horse.
That's scary enough, but once the idea of AI injected malware is brought up, it gets scarier. Like when you have an ache in your tummy and you Google or WebMD what it might be...soon, you're thinking you might have the worst form of ulcerous stomach cancer known to man. What if...
- AI gets this code into places like Coinbase, below, where finances can get compromised?
- What if it worms into email like ILOVEYOU and gets spread normy to normy?
- Suppose we get to the point where a malicious AI, an evil AI, decides to write its own code and purposely hide it from human eyes?
- What if we get to a digital economy where AI and bots need to earn money or bitcoin to "live", and that evil AI decides hacking up some malware code to pilfer or steal the money is easier than earning it?
They always say, "Don't Google your ailment."
