And run amok they sure did. One got stuck trying to access a file for which it didn't have root privileges. Another went in and attempted to refactor an entire app (which I did not request).

AI slop pushes data governance towards zero-trust models | Computer Weekly

Currently, large language models (LLMs) are typically trained on data scraped - with or without permission - from the world wide web and other sources including books, research papers, and code repositories.
