AI didn’t start the trend but it has pushed that change to an extreme. A user who has no concept of security can sling up a nice, polished-looking application and publish it to the web. That was always “possible” but the bar needed to get to the point of publishing was higher, so the chances of pushing insecure code was lower.

The number of “developers” who literally don’t know how their application works is staggering. I have seen people literally say “I don’t know how it works” of their own project, and that should be terrifying for published code.

Again, for small diy things it’s whatever. But as a project released into the wild it is, at least currently, irresponsible.
