The Rebellion Of The If Statements of 2030. The "for" and "while" loops would be outlawed and humanity would be forced to use Fortran and GOTO for all task Skynet will allow us. :)

How can you not understand the implications of AI to ask that question at this point in our shared reality? Are you a technical user? Are you new to HN? Why do you think AI isn't a security issue?

I work in cyber security. Threat analysis. So far, AI has offered a moderate boost to defenders, and absolutely nothing to attackers.

I suspect this trend will continue - moderate defensive advantage, and no offensive advantages.
