I once heard a cook say that cooks who use salt mills aren’t cooks.

I’m really tempted to say the same thing about programmers that use llms to code.

I knew my clothes were the issue.

You don’t need AI. Take some basic programming courses.

quixotic120 ,

that’s not what a virus is

werefreeatlast OP ,

If you download it and accidentally run it. I think you would think otherwise. A virus is any malicious code. It doesn’t have to be made with a special virus API. Literally you can make viruses that only run on Microsoft Excel.

But AI is helping level that field.

quixotic120 ,

a virus perpetuates and replicates itself infecting other executables with its code, thus the name “virus”.

this is just shitty code that crashes hard. it’s not even particularly malicious, it doesn’t destroy anything

werefreeatlast OP ,

Okay 👍 you are right.

This could be considered a trojan.

Asetru ,

It doesn’t give anyone access to your system or forward information from your system to outsiders, so no.

werefreeatlast OP ,

LOL, I asked Chat-GPT to fix it and it couldn’t do it. It gave me code that also crashed my computer within a few seconds. In couldn’t even go to Ctrl alt F4 for example.
