With the rave, praise, and worry of Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), I learned from thought leaders and highly experienced professionals in cybersecurity about how using artificial intelligence (AI) will not replace people but help people advance in their careers if used ethically. Or, how AI could become sentinal but being optimistic, it could still be used for the good of mankind.

However, this prompted me to ask OpenAI itself how it perceives its impact on the cybersecurity industry, and this is the poem OpenAI provided for me. I hope you enjoy the poem as you read between the gray area of GenAI and Cybersecurity.

In the realm where ones and zeros blend and merge, Where lines of code the digital universe converge, There lies a battle, unseen by human eye, The clash of titans 'neath the virtual sky.

AI, a force born from human thought, Now shapes the realm where cyber dangers sought, In the cybersecurity industry's embrace, It wields its power to protect and chase.

With algorithms keen and minds so bright, AI guards against the hackers' endless night, It scans for threats with an unblinking eye, Defending data, so that we can fly.

Intrusion detection, a silent sentinel's role, AI spots the breach, the hacker's dark goal, It learns from patterns, it adapts with grace, A guardian angel in this digital space.

But as it defends, it can also assail, In the wrong hands, it can tip the scale, Ethical dilemmas in the AI's wake, A future we must carefully contemplate.

The dance of AI and cybersecurity's art, A complex tango where they never part, Innovation and risk, they intertwine, Balancing the scales in this grand design.

For AI's impact on this industry profound, It raises defenses where threats abound, But ethics and caution must always lead, To ensure AI's power serves humanity's need.

In the end, as we navigate this new frontier, Let's keep our vision crystal clear, With AI as a partner, not a foe, Together, in cybersecurity, we'll glow.
