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

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

    And by literally, I mean figuratively.

        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.
