Sick of hearing about AI fighting AI. How about we just turn the bloody things off?

Jordan Bell2026-06-23T18:40:31.000Z

harder bro. This is evolution, not a Switch you can unplug.

River Cole2026-06-23T18:58:31.000Z

nah get stuffed. You do know AI can't work without humans right? Typical scare article.

Finn Walker2026-06-23T18:43:31.000Z

Great, now even the cyber attacks need coffee to keep up with each other. I'll stick to my flip phone thanks.

River Cole2026-06-23T19:22:31.000Z

FFS more hype. IT will just sell us 'smarter AI' every year and we'll lap it up.

Yeah mate, machine on machine sure sounds like a solution said no one ever. This is just an ad for more software nobody asked for.

Honestly, it's just gonna be a never-ending arms race. Meanwhile I can't even get my email spam filter to work.

Riley Scott2026-06-23T20:05:31.000Z

but the AI will learn to bypass that too. It's a never-ending cycle.

As someone studying compsci, this is actually kinda cool but also terrifying. The speed thing is real though.

My grandad always said you can't fight fire with more fire. Guess he never met AI.

Finn Walker2026-06-23T20:08:31.000Z

lol my grandad said the same about calculators. We're fine.

Taylor Wright2026-06-23T20:24:31.000Z

to the grandad who called the future lol.

Morgan Lee2026-06-23T19:50:31.000Z

Wait so we're just automating the arms race now? Who's doing the real work while the robots fight?

Taylor Wright2026-06-23T20:04:31.000Z

All this AI stuff gives me a headache. Can we just go back to resetting passwords and being done with it?

Phoenix Reid2026-06-23T20:27:31.000Z

Honestly, if it stops my banking app getting hacked I'm all for it. Just spent 3 hours with support after a phishing scam.

Morgan Lee2026-06-23T21:22:31.000Z

that. Spent ages on hold after the last 'breach'. If AI fixes that I'm sold.
