For people touting about how their software can destroy the world, they aren't awfully creative on how it can achieve that. Hacking breaches of IP was probably most cynicists' top 3 questions asked when presented with the idea of "boosting productivity". If you make it "10x" faster to write code, you make it 10x faster for a hacker to hack. Naive cryptographic principles are less about an ironclad security and more about encryption that takes too much time to brute force. It all leads to one thing.

I'm still fairly adamant that those claims are mostly a myth. Because the worst inefficiencies in any workplace has little to do with the individual productivity of the proletariat. And because much of the most valuable work lies in creativity, ingenuity, and subtleties that lies outside of an LLM's expertise.

But loosely speaking, a lot of hacking does in fact come down to a lot of boring, repetitive tasks. Something a machine has always been king of.
