In today's world, security is of the most importance. Constant cybersecurity breaches cause significant damage to companies, individuals, and even countries. Finding and addressing security issues before they can be exploited is critical to maintaining the integrity and safety of digital systems.

ChatGPT can easily help busy professionals find security holes in their code.
It can quickly analyze large amounts of code and identify potential vulnerabilities.

Here’s a simple HelloWorld example of a Java code that demonstrates how ChatGPT can be used to find security issues in code.
Prompt to copy:

Check for security issues:
public class HelloWorld { 
public static void main(String[] args) { 
String input = args[0]; 
System.out.println("Hello, " + input + "!");  
} 
}

As you can see above, ChatGPT not only can identify security issues in code, it also provides updated code that addresses the found issues. Wow!

In a recent test, ChatGPT was able to find 213 security vulnerabilities in a code repository, while a commercial security tool from a reputable cybersecurity company only found 99 issues. While the commercial tool provided more structured context, ChatGPT was able to identify 114 vulnerabilities that the other tool missed.

Of course, it's important to note that no tool can find every security vulnerability, and manual code reviews are still essential. But ChatGPT can save busy developers time and provide an additional layer of security to their digital systems.

That's a powerful example of what can be achieved with AI, thanks for sharing Adam! Now let's see how the corporate world will react, because sharing code (as a company owned and private asset) could be harmful for companies. At the moment, we have no serious idea how our prompts, results and everything could be used by OpenAI afterwards - and that's a serious topic! I'll write about it

Wait really!? ChatGPT was able to find 213 security vulnerabilities as opposed to 99 by humans! That's insane :o

I guess ChatGPT is indeed potentially scary for humanity.
