Completely agree, it’s why I don’t mess around with the pen-testing AI models myself, I only know enough about it to be dangerous but not enough to actually fact check what they’re doing, it’s just not useful for me without my own confidence and understanding. It’s just not my field. I stick to my lane and treat my AI like particularly stupid junior employees and direct them accordingly and validate what they’re giving me and it works pretty alright as long as I maintain a narrow enough scope and don’t rush things the way a lot of AI slop pushers tend to do. It still takes time, and thought, it’s a tool, sometimes a decent one, sometimes a terrible one, but never more than a tool.
