I should clarify, not "malicious" in the sense of "wants to hack you", but "dangerous" by nature. AI loves to hallucinate non-existent packages (hello, supply chain attacks), hardcode credentials, or disable SSL verification simply because it makes the code work. It's not evil, it's just competently ignorant, which in a security context is often worse than an overt enemy
