AI Honeypot network infrastructure generator (HoneypotGPT?) could be fantastic. You could imagine it wasting the resources of hackers convincingly enough that it would water down the potential effect of hacking online generally. It could even make up fake internal documents and state secrets. I'm only half joking (I think)?

The other day I saw the retraction of a leak of customer data, on the grounds that the claimed data was very obviously from an LLM, which outsiders could trust wasn't just the company saying so because of things like "the email addresses don't match the people's names" and "the zip codes don't correspond to the states they're supposedly in". Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the place that denied the leak, which makes it hard to search for amongst the torrent of attacks that I find in search results.

  Yup, hard to find these days, but here you go: It was Europcar https://twitter.com/BleepinComputer/status/1752460897031684343?t=FgNlNXPVAPAnAsivat9biQ&s=19 https://twitter.com/BleepinComputer/status/17524608970316843... And it wasn't LLM/AI generated, just good old faker apparently https://twitter.com/KasadaIQ/status/1753201379043365326?t=IZ2pJl-K3JmDei1DiHhDzg&s=19 https://twitter.com/KasadaIQ/status/1753201379043365326?t=IZ...

    Why attribute to normal/boring/commodity tools that which can be attributed to "LLMS" and "AI" and "CHATGPT"?

Would you believe that Neal Stephenson had this idea in Anathem, written in 2008? Someone quotes from the novel here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14554765 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14554765
