   Just the beginning. AI is going to expose how fragile the entire computing infrastructure in our world is.

      I am an experienced engineer and am building a product actively right now. I started pre-AI, and cautiously adopted AI. I am using AI tools a lot now, but still dedicate a lot of my attention to validating it's output and design decisions.

      I recently asked it to review my code and configs from the security perspective. Wow! 90% of the things it identified were MY bad decisions dating from pre-AI development. I am honestly humbled and impressed at the same time.

      AI can create slop, and it can create quality products. It depends who is using it, and how.

         Ask an LLM to 'review' any text that it's generated vs something human-written and see which one it thinks is flawless.

            I do it all the time, and I get feedback about tons of things that need to be fixed. I ask Claude to review ChatGPT code and vice versa. I also ask Claude to review Claude code, and it finds issues as well. I ask it to review copy I wrote and offer style, grammar, voice, and consistency suggestions. LLMs make pretty darn good reviewers.

            In this case, what matters most is that the AI security review raised real issues that needed to be fixed. That is valuable.
