    Honestly, AI is super useful if what you need doesn’t require much creativity. For example, if I want to know how to setup an eDiscovery case in Exchange Online then I can probably trust Copilot to tell me the correct answer.

    If I need to write a block of code to check for XSS or CSRF, then no, AI is not going to be trustworthy.

      If it’s something that’s been done and written about dozens of times before, an LLM will probably barf up something resembling it.

        Nah, unfortunately it’s been fed stack overflow. So instead of having a wealth of alternative solutions to a problem it just tells you your question is a duplicate and refuses to help.
