ChatGPT Outsmarts DeepSeek: The Hilarity of AI’s Insecure Coding Blunders

In a digital twist worthy of a sitcom, ChatGPT AI discovers a “security concern” in DeepSeek’s code. It turns out, not even AI is immune to classic coding blunders like cross-site scripting (XSS). As AI bots start training one another, should we laugh or worry? Either way, it’s a bug’s life!

Hot Take:

Oh, the irony! AI writes a textbook on ‘How to Get Hacked 101’ and then aces the test by spotting its own blunder in someone else’s code. It’s like a teacher grading their own homework and finding an F. Let’s hope our future AI overlords don’t make a habit of this, or we might all need tin foil hats sooner than we thought!

Key Points:

  • ChatGPT, the AI language model, identified an XSS vulnerability in DeepSeek’s Python code.
  • The vulnerability was a result of directly inserting user input into the response without proper sanitization.
  • ChatGPT provided a more secure code solution, but it breaks special characters in general web apps.
  • This incident highlights potential risks of AI training each other, dubbed as a “knowledge chain attack”.
  • The article includes a humorous anecdote about AI and technological singularity.
