If you couldn't get this from the headline already: it is just a clickbait article of course.
ChatGPT is really good at creating small code snippets for easy tasks such as iterating files in python or simple encryption/decryption. But so is google, stackoverflow, github, ...
If you really want to do something more complex or have very specific requirements (such as abusing a specific security hole) it is useless.
The focus on malware here is misleading. Any resources that helps with basic programming could easily be used for simple malware shown in the article.
Might as well make an article how ChatGPT can help with robbing items from a car because it can recommend to use a brick to break a window. This is just the programming version of it.

There’s a subreddit for that

It is just done via existing function in python / pip modules not manually

This is a good time to remind everyone, homebrew encryption is not the answer. If you don't know what you're doing, you are already making it unsafe. Use current known encryption for anything production worthy until you gain the skill to code for it.

I wonder though if you fed in certain CVEs if it could figure it out. I don't want to try it because that sounds like a good way to get kicked off.

I’m not a programmer but found it could create audio plugin code when I specified what I wanted (in C++) I wanted to try it out - is it likely to not work and for me to have no idea why?

You will get stuck very quickly trying this. Good learning experience though

Anything complex and ChatGPT starts outputting broken (in both obvious and non obvious ways). It’s good, however, for writing small parts of relatively simple boilerplate code.

Yeah it seemed to be doing seemingly very complex things in far too few lines of code, I was suspicious if it was really doing what I asked
