This is correct. We can thrash all we want about slop and hallucinations, but from a defensive posture position, the models only need to be right some of the time and they still constitute a threat.

Knowing it sucks and pretending it doesn’t exist are two different things.

    Right!?!

    And with how cheap and fast they are to run, they don't have to be right that often as long as a separate run can verify/validate claims. In a lot of ways what the LLMs do should probably be thought of as just a very sophisticated sort of brute force approach. You're effectively just searching the space of combinations of known vulnerabilities. It doesn't require particular cleverness, just an encyclopedic knowledge, a reasonable way to prune the search space, and the ability to put in the compute time.
