 Here's a fun AI story: a security researcher noticed that large companies' AI-authored source-code repeatedly referenced a nonexistent library (an AI "hallucination"), so he created a (defanged) malicious library with that name and uploaded it, and thousands of developers automatically downloaded and incorporated it as they compiled the code:

 @b92dcc07 thanks for sharing. That's a very good summary explanation of the challenges of AI /Llm.
It's going back to the question of what is truth.  Can we trust AI with important decisions. 
 If you wouldn't trust your dreams, you shouldn't trust AI.

That doesn't mean AI is useless, though.
