> Even if I prompt with security as the top priority...

A bit of a counterpoint: I've been programming for 12 years, but only recently started working in webdev. I have a general understanding of cybersecurity, but I never had to actively implement security measures in my code until now—and my boss is always pushing for speed.

AI has been incredible in that regard. I can ask it to review my code for vulnerabilities, explain what they are, and outline the pros and cons of each strategy. In just a month, I've learned a lot about JWT, CSRF, DDoS protection, and more.

In another world, my web apps would be far more vulnerable.



In that sense, AI is a tremendous learning tool. You could have learned about those subjects before, but it would have taken exponentially longer to search, scan, appropriate, and integrate them together to form a potential solution to a real-world problem.
