But for children who basically are born with these systems, the risk is that they don't even learn the basic critical skills." #hallucination #confidence #LLM #CriticalThinking

#AI #code often includes references to non-existent dependencies. These references are commonly called “#hallucinations”. A new type of #attack has arisen that involves an attacker registering a package whose name is frequently hallucinated. When AI code containing this #hallucination is accepted, and this dependency is installed, the attacker can ship #malicious code into the project’s build, introducing a major #security vulnerability. This type of attack has become known as “#slopsquatting”.
