That'd be true if companies were approaching AI responsibly, and not attempting to YOLO vibecode entire platforms. But as core utilities go, I do see the value in hardening against vulnerabilities by using AI. And when sanity returns and companies start approaching its use rationally when it comes to development...develop best practices around how to build with AI, and ensure code remains reviewable and understandable by humans, limit scope creep and sprawl, and slow down a bit to think through these issues - yes, it could yield some very positive outcomes in the long run.

I also feel like this is true. We are going to see a massive explosion of CVE's being found and patched, then it will gradually slow down. But there is also the possibility, the code being written now is written so fast, and by people that might not even understand it in the first place, that the pace of adding new vulnerabilities might explode at the same time. I'm not sure which is faster.

I feel that while it's plausible that AI progress in making existing software less shitty will outweigh the increasing capabilities to exploit software and so make the existing software more secure; however, I feel that the trend is that the rate of making existing software less shitty is far, far outpaced by people releasing vast quantities of new shitty software.

Maybe? I’m not 100% on this one.

Not trying to be a downer, but it could become a mixed bag is all I’m saying.

Ai only reliably returns whats in the training set with sufficient power. As you can imagine, this is a supremely limited scope of all of human knowledge and depends on data that were both recorded and made available for training.

> But when this is all over, software will be more secure than it has ever been before

I don't see sufficient evidence that this is not going to be a perpetual race between people/AIs fixing existing software and more advanced and powerful next generation AIs finding new vulnerabilities and exploits.
