“Security Research Slop” Accelerated by AI

The past few months have been increasingly frustrating.

Previously, we received “vulnerability” reports from “security researchers” that, while often inaccurate, at least related tangentially to our service.

Today, we are flooded with AI-generated long-form reports that discuss random features – features we neither have nor offer.

The AI-generated slop is well-written and appears professional.

Yet it is entirely irrelevant.

This is what we are burning the planet for.

This is why we face a chip shortage.

This is why investment money flows to rubbish startups instead of supporting useful products.

Please make it stop.
