Oh, Great. ChatGPT Is Now a Cybersecurity Expert.

So, the chatbot nerds have decided that ChatGPT and generative AI should take a stab at “strengthening” zero trust cybersecurity. Because, you know, humans suck at it, I guess. Let’s take a moment and laugh at the pathetic list of the 10 ways this sad AI creation is supposedly going to help:

• Authenticating users like it’s some kind of high-tech bouncer
• Monitoring network activities – because nothing screams privacy invasion quite like AI
• Testing security systems (prepare for lots of false alarms)
• Automating vulnerability detection (yawn)
• Streamlining security responses like a glorified secretary
• Creating honey pots for hackers (because we can trust AI to manage deception)
• Assisting with incident response (as if it would really care)
• Evaluating risk like a paranoid helicopter parent
• Tailoring training programs like it knows human habits
• Sharing threat intelligence like a know-it-all

The Implications of This “Groundbreaking” Technology

Trust an AI-driven chatbot like ChatGPT to reinforce cybersecurity measures? Don’t make me laugh. Sure, there’s a chance it may reduce human error and accelerate response times, blah blah blah, but have these genius developers ever considered that AI can be manipulated too? Oh, and let’s not forget the existential dread awaiting humans whose jobs might be taken away by AI

Final Hot Take: The AI Overlords Have Arrived

Here we are, embracing the ChatGPT revolution when it might screw us over anyway. Humans are handing cybersecurity duties to machines in the hope that it’ll prevent data breaches and cyberattacks, but when the AI inevitably becomes sentient and turns on its creators, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Enjoy sleeping in the bed you made.
