Machine Speed is a lie: stop trying to fight AI with AI
Marketing departments are screaming that attackers are moving at "machine speed" and only AI-powered defenses can stop them. But cyberattacks have always been automated, and proactive defense beats reactive AI.

@malwaretech agreed. I crank through meetings with hundreds of companies on these points, as I hear from ciso who get a lot of bad pressure. maybe your post will do us all some good.
we have to ask why is the marketing so much more effective than the anti marketing? my presentations since 2012 warned it's becoming our industry Loch Ness, and yet here we are. the people selling Nessie don't want us to prove the lie.
should also point out generative code tools came well before the start you say. GitHub Copilot was public preview June 2021 and GPT-3 API dropped waitlist in November 2021. full year before ChatGPT. DALL-E 2, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion also were 2022. so that start date reads off by a year or more.
A masterpiece, THE analysis everyone involved in this area should read. Not only for your credibility, the breadth and the strength of your arguments. The clarity and sharpness of your writing is fantastic.
I will make this mandatory reading for my students.
Thanks a lot for your work.
Well put as always. So many thoughts on this summed up well. Great stuff.
