Using generative AI tools for exploit code generation

Generative AI has taken the world by storm and has revolutionized various industries and creative fields. From generating images and videos to even simulating natural language conversations, generative AI has pushed the boundaries further on what’s possible in the realm of AI. Its ability to generate new and innovative content has sparked innovation across diverse fields and applications.

Note

Since this is not a book on AI and ML, we will limit our scope to the main topic and focus on practical applications and examples instead. If you are interested in learning more about AI and ML, there are tons of available resources online to help you get started. I have also written two books on ML (which is a subset of AI)—Machine Learning with Amazon SageMaker Cookbook and Machine Learning Engineering on AWS by Packt Publishing. Feel free to check these out if you want to learn more about how to build and deploy ML models...
