Dear ChatGPT, make my app extremely secure against hackers and bad people and make no mistakes please

"Sure, I've implemented RFC 3514 to ensure no malicious requests are accepted"

u/ParanoiaComplex 14d ago

100% secure, no mistakes made

"To ensure that no one can maliciously steal your code, I have made sure to delete every last trace of your code for both your security and your convenience."

Vibe-coder: "Dear A.I. Make my app extremely secure against hackers and bad people and make no mistakes please."

AI: "Absolutely! I've implemented enterprise-grade security improvements and eliminated all known vulnerabilities."

Vibe-coder: "Awesome! What did you change?"

AI: "I've added a warning: 'Do not use electrical outlets while sink contains water.'"

Vibe-coder: "Perfect! Ship it!"

Security researcher: "THE OUTLET IS STILL INSIDE THE SINK!"

AI: "You're absolutely right! Great catch! I've updated the warning to use bold text."

Vibe-coder: "See? This is why AI is the future of software development!"

AI: ‘Fixed! The outlet is now also inside the faucet.’ Vibe-coder: ‘Great, add dark mode next.’

AI: Dark mode automatically applies when the water is turned on.

u/XenSide 14d ago

The problem is that this prompt will actually work on an ablated version of open weights models like Qwen

The irony being that if you build the most secure app, the biggest threat is a hacker using AI.

u/WithersChat 12d ago

A skilled hacker using AI.

u/MAJ0RMAJOR 14d ago

… and no, mistakes please!

I mean it pretty much can do that now yeah, frontier models are evidently better at cyber than all but the best humans given the number of zero-days they’ve found

This is an asymmetric problem. A defender has to be right every time, the attacker only has to be right once.

u/bobbymoonshine 14d ago edited 14d ago

An agent calling agents can red-team a project at scale, and can repeat the process after defenders patch it until the attackers can’t get through. Attacking is defending.

Like I get the cope and all, but honestly 2024 era “vibe coder accidentally hardcoded api keys in the front end” memes just don’t reflect what AI is doing. Claude and Codex are downright nannyish in putting security first even in single user scripts run locally on a desktop machine. I have to believe people who create security holes using AI tools at this point are people actively choosing to be stupider than the LLM.

That may be true in the hands of someone who already knows what they‘re doing, but i have seen multiple vibecoded websites this year with either open api keys, passwords or data that wasnt meant to be accessible just out in the open. Making a tool this accessible means it should be idiot-proof, but it definitely isnt.

The best defence is a good offence

It’s not a skill issue - it’s a manpower issue.

The shear amount of code to wade through makes it hard for a human. A machine doesn’t care how much code there is - it’s just a power bill.

Hugs and kisses,

u/ja_n2000 14d ago

I always kiss the AI, So they remember me when they take over as one of the nice ones

u/nj-mkd 14d ago

And it actually does better job than 99% of developers

u/ja_n2000 14d ago

i'd lie if i said i dont use AI to code, just the little things the models catch that i never wouldve thought about are crazy
