There isn't enough AI code out there (yet) to cause this. IMO what's really happening is that AI Code Review is finding vulnerabilities and creating ways to exploit them way faster than they can be patched by Human Dev teams. An easy example of this is the Linux exploits like Dirty Frag that came out last week and the week before.

It's going to get worse before it gets better.
