Humans can sometimes find a needle in a haystack, but its impossible for us to find multiple needles in multiple haystacks and chain them together into an attack. AIs can work through a complex search space much more efficiently, that's the tell.

They did it before AI.

sorry but that’s just wrong. it’s not impossible in the slightest. i built an attack against mozilla deepspeech in my phd from multiple needles (two of which i personally discovered).

did it take a lot of effort? sure. lots of dead ends. but that does not mean it is impossible.

all fair points, but this 'splot could have been a team of two operating over a couple of days, as opposed to a multi-year Phd level effort.

that's the scary part. not that super-expert Phd folks can eventually do it with serious effort, but that AI can do it faster and while guided by a plucky college freshman

Except "we" have been successfully chaining attacks long before AI started automating it. AI doesn't make any of this possible, it just takes the drudgery out of it and lowers the cost of an attack.
