something im noticing with my interns and undergraduates in general is the loss of technical knowledge

in my experience at least, first and second year students appear to solely rely on ChatGPT or Claude for technical problems (debugging, malware context, linux commands, KQL & SQL queries)

when asked a question about their work, the students freeze

when i give students a problem or a situation, and tell them not to use AI, they present an answer full of buzzwords that have nothing to do with the original task

now i can't speak for everyone in the industry, but for people who want to focus more on security analysis/blue teaming, the managers and supervisors aren't pleased with the over reliance of AI, the inability to write an executive summary or an incident report

plz don't give up on the field. there's a whole world out there

familiarize yourself with linux, with only using a terminal, with the 7 layer OSI model, with virtual machines, with ports, with MITRE ATT&CK
