Simply look out for libraries imagined by ML and make them real, with actual malicious code. No wait, don't do that

    It’s as much as “Hallucination” as Tesla’s Autopilot is an Autopilot

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Autopilot

    I don’t propagate techbro “AI” bullshit peddled by companies trying to make a quick buck

    Also, in the world of science and technology a “Standard” means something. Something that’s not a link to a wikipedia page.

    It’s still anthropomorphising software and it’s fucking cringe.

      Oh man, I’m excited for you. Today is the day you learn words can have two meanings! Wait until you see what the rest of the dictionary contains. It is crazy! But not actually crazy, because dictionaries don’t have brains.

        Wow, clever. Did you literally hallucinate this yourself or did you ask your LLM girlfriend for help?

        And by literally, I mean figuratively.

          You’re gonna be real pissed to find out that computer bugs aren’t literal bugs

            I know it’s a big word, but surely you can google what anthropomorphization is? Don’t “ask” LLM, those things output garbage. Just google it.

              You call it a large language model, but there are much bigger things, it’s only approximating a human language, and it isn’t a physical model.
