The distinction is in the understanding of what you are doing. “Script kiddie” is considered derogatory because running scripts written by someone else does not require understanding of how those scripts achieve what they do. It is a distinction between hacking a system and turning on a machine and standing nearby while it hacks the system.
Given that definition and distinction, using an AI model to do this is merely changing where the scripts came from. It may work, but the person doing it is still a “script kiddie” by the common definition.
I suspect that what was meant was that the attacks themselves were far more sophisticated than what a skiddie could do (after all, if you just run scripts, you probably don’t really learn anything from the information you get back), not so much that the person ordering the attacks was anything more than a script kiddie. Of course, they didn’t really make it clear what exactly they meant by it.
No, it’s slop kiddie stuff.
If it works it works
