Designer Tom John noticed strange entries in his site's prompt logs: within an hour, someone typed "I want the source code" followed by "Where the source code" — as if treating the input box like an AI chat that would just hand over the codebase. His reaction: "am I being hacked? halp."
A funny snapshot of users now treating every input box as an AI conversation.
