Ask HN: GenAI를 보며 “아, 큰일 났다”라고 느낀 순간은 언제였나요?

The thread demonstrates that Generative AI has matured from novelty tool into a genuinely practical instrument for solving specialized problems—from firmware reverse-engineering to home repair diagnostics—traditionally locked behind expert gatekeeping. Yet widespread adoption simultaneously exposes fundamental vulnerabilities: hallucinations, code quality degradation, and validation failures that reveal the true bottleneck isn't raw capability but reliability, making robust validation the critical frontier for AI's real-world impact.
