The Peril of the Great Leaks (written with ChatGPT)

Context: I had an idea of a thought I wanted to spread but decided to make it via chatgpt. The full prompt can be found in the comments below.

In less than three years, the world will be a very different place. Thanks to the rise of large language models (LLMs), hacking capabilities will be so advanced that databases will be leaking left and right. The sheer amount of data that will be available to hackers will be staggering, and the consequences could be catastrophic.

Imagine a world where your most personal information is readily available to anyone with an internet connection. Your social security number, your credit card information, your medical records—all of it out in the open. This is the future we’re facing, and it’s not a pretty one.

The scariest part is that these dumps will be all the more easy to parse thanks to the ease of use of LLMs. Hackers will be able to sift through massive amounts of data in a matter of seconds, making it easier than ever to find the information they’re looking for. And with the rise of the dark web, it will be easier than ever for them to sell that information to the highest bidder.

But it’s not just individuals who will be at risk. Companies and governments will also be vulnerable to these attacks. Imagine a world where the secrets of major corporations and government agencies are readily available to anyone who wants them. The consequences could be disastrous, both for the organizations themselves and for the people they serve.

The rise of LLMs is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it has the potential to revolutionize the way we communicate and interact with technology. On the other hand, it also has the potential to be used for nefarious purposes. Hackers will be able to use LLMs to create more sophisticated phishing scams, and to craft more convincing social engineering attacks.

The future is uncertain, but one thing is clear: we need to start taking cybersecurity seriously. We can’t rely on outdated security measures to protect us from the threats of tomorrow. We need to invest in new technologies and new approaches to security, and we need to do it now. The future is coming, whether we’re ready for it or not. And if we’re not careful, it could be a very dangerous place indeed.
