GPT for finding bugs – who uses it?

Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees… I'm currently developing a Magento extension, and it just wouldn't work. I spent two days searching for the error… then used the code interpreter for the first time in combination with uploading the entire extension as a ZIP file….

In fact, GPT found the error (a crappy typo that caused a completely unexplainable Magento reaction) more or less immediately.

I'm absolutely thrilled… who else uses it for this, and what's your experience been? Have you tried uploading entire projects and scanning GPT for SQL injection opportunities, for example?

A typo is not a bug and two days for it? IDE probably failed on the whole.

But to your question: No.

I also find the tool useful. Especially in cases like you described him, so mistakes you’re looking for for several days. But I see the problem that, unfortunately, many are no longer dealing with the mistakes and only blunt their code in there and take what comes out. The learning/experience effect is equal to 0.

To date, I have not really thought about the possibility of checking for possible vulnerabilities. But Iā€™m also almost exclusively in Java, which forces you more or less directly to use PreparedStatements.
