you cannot have an "injection attack" in a system with no formal distinction between data and instructions. what you actually have is an "everything is instructions" model and a failure to isolate untrusted inputs from the elevated privilege of access to private information

someone was trying to explain to me why chatgpt had helped them write some code, and it kinda helped me put into words why i just don't value the approach

i argued that it didn't help them write code they understood, and they argued that was the entire point—no learning, no doc reading, just code
