Polymorphic AI Malware: Hype vs. Practical Reality Today

🧠 Polymorphic AI malware is more hype than breakthrough: attackers are experimenting with LLMs, but practical advantages over traditional polymorphic techniques remain limited. AI mainly accelerates tasks—debugging, translating samples, generating boilerplate, and crafting convincing phishing lures—reducing the skill barrier and increasing campaign tempo. Many AI-assisted variants are unstable or detectable in practice; defenders should focus on behavioral detection, identity protections, and response automation rather than fearing instant, reliable self‑rewriting malware.
