Get ready for a bunch of unskilled people making the shittiest apps imaginable.

And I wonder how easy it will be to get Claude to create malware with just a few prompts...

What happens if someone (OpenAI) makes an LLM inject spyware into the code? Who would be able to read the code and figure that out if you have no coders?

You wouldn't even have to reach as far as malware. All software has bugs. To think that AI will produce perfect bugfree code because "it's a computer" is laughable. So inevitably there will be a need to debug the code, across servers, filesystems, databases, APIs, you name it. In tens if not hundreds of thousands of lines of code, which might even be compiled. Surprise, an LLM can't do that.
