Why do LLMs fall for prompt injection attacks that wouldn’t fool a fast-food worker?

In this piece, Fastly Distinguished Engineer Barath Raghavan and security expert Bruce Schneier explain how AI flattens context—and why that makes autonomous AI agents especially risky.

A sharp, practical take on AI security. 🍔🤖: spectrum.ieee.org/prompt-injec…

Every non-hype defense of #LLMs starts with "you must already understand your work really well." But the people vibe coding prototypes *don't*.

As a result they scale up thoughtlessness. "Bulking out" a slapdash idea with hallucinated details only displaces the real thinking that could have led to actual innovation. The very teams the tool was supposed to help instead end up with more noise to dig through.

But teams can (and do) fight back.

Vibe prototyping isn't solving any problems. But it's creating many new ones.

It's easy to prototype and so everyone is prototyping, without really knowing why they are doing it.
