So there's this little problem, say we can track X number of malware with the current security defenders. But ChatGPT lowers the barrier to programmer to a point which the average teenage could do malware, we now get a wave of hacks going on.. like whats the response there?

Have the AI working to plug the holes before the script kiddies can exploit them?

Such an obvious solution that any silly monkey can think it up.

And who trains it to find the problems? now your building scanning tools and if you've lucky you can get it to print out a commit to fix it if you have access to the code..

I think maybe, pure speculation on my part, at least one out of the thousands of employees at Microsoft has been given the job to train their $10 billion investment on the windows code base to see what they can do about beefing up security.

And every other hour there’s some startup advertising this in the form of “Show HN”.

At this point I think people are just looking for reasons to fear the eventual AI extinction event without even trying.
