That’s actually a bad analogy in my opinion. People who don’t learn cryptography make many mistakes calling cryptography libraries and those mistakes can’t be uncovered by testing.


Learning how to use cryptography responsibly is different from learning to design and attack cryptographic algorithms, and fortunately a lot easier.


Oh, it'll all be great when ChatGPT writes all that code for us and we can be off somewhere having a beer and a cry instead.


You'll cry but, to listen to your sorrow and offer friendly support, ChatGPT will be there for you !

Or the Fifth Element's robot bartender, who will do great with a ChatGPT upgrade - https://youtu.be/sFAPW3W2yMk?t=114


People can make ML mistakes if they don't learn ML. Some of the mistakes can be uncovered by testing, but only if you know enough about ML to know how to test it. Some mistakes just you with a bad model that could have been better.
