I've said this a million times. The llms are not better, than us they are infinatly faster. It's like putting 1000 engineers full time on looking for vulnerabilities for 10 years. Sure you can do that. Or pay for the tokens instead and do the same effort overnight.

    Yep and even 1000 engineers with 10 years of time is still going to be wrong a hell of a lot. But that doesn't matter. Even a tiny fraction of the bugs found being being real is enough to over load and flood out most projects.

    Llms don't have to be 100% right, even at 10% right there's still too many bugs to fix. Decades of tech debt is being called in. And ain't no body is ready for it.
