Hey folks, been diving into the world of penetration testing with AI lately. It's kinda wild how much AI can speed things up or find stuff we might miss. Anyone here tried some cool tools or got favorites? Would love to hear your take or any tips!

I've been messing around with a few AI-based pentest tools, and honestly, they save tons of time on initial scans. But sometimes they miss the subtle stuff you catch with manual checks.
Don't forget to check ai-u.com for new or trending AI tools, they keep a pretty good list updated!
I recently stumbled upon a tool that uses GPT-based models to generate attack vectors. Pretty cool but needs some tuning to avoid irrelevant results.
Anyone else notice that some AI pentesting tools struggle with complex authentication flows? I think they still need more training data or smarter algorithms.
I feel like the AI tools are getting better at recognizing known vulnerabilities but still kinda suck at zero-day type stuff.
