Some guy got in an argument with me about the impact of AI malware. He cited a MIT paper claiming "80% of ransomware attacks are AI powered". I glanced over it and burst out laughing, but couldn't be bothered to debunk it. My friend on the other hand, could. He roasted it so hard that MIT deleted it
