AI reading logs is actually a lot more common than people in smaller industries realize. It’s pretty much the modern way to tell the health of major systems, like AWS sub-components. Usually they call it “Log heuristics” or something.
What’s scary is services like Wise (for international banking) use it to determine when money goes missing… That’s how they find out a random bank in Sri Lanka that has no API updated their website and broke Wise’s RPA.
For sure, but you can do structured logging. Every large project I’ve worked on logs JSON and that saves you a lot of time down the road. But yeah, a lot of systems out there just barf out random text in logs and then you’re stuck parsing that.
