Why Network Security Professionals Must Reject AI‑Driven Automation

Some colleagues have abandoned the hard‑handed skill of manual reverse engineering and the iron backbone of practical offensive‑defensive combat, instead worshipping AI‑driven automatic penetration, one‑click reverse analysis, and large‑model generated exploits. This “security surrender” may appear to save time, but it actually undermines the nation’s cyber‑defense wall and threatens the livelihoods of countless security professionals.

What we need are byte‑by‑byte reverse‑engineered fundamentals, hole‑by‑hole manually discovered vulnerabilities, and a step‑by‑step penetration process honed through practice—not soft, AI‑generated shortcuts. Feeding core malicious samples, internal‑network target information, and attack‑defense strategies to AI not only harms fellow practitioners today but also risks future backdoors, sabotage, and ultimately self‑destruction.

Security professionals must retain their backbone and uphold the bottom line, refusing to become subordinates of AI automation tools or slaves to large models, and must not abandon the offensive‑defensive craft that underpins their technical foundation.
