If one day clang of gcc ships with a local LLM to lint code for security problems I would probably run it occasionally even on my hobby code despite being an AI hater.

Compilers already have deterministic linters built in, devs often turn them off anyway.

Quite a lot of the bugs being found in existing codebases show up as soon as you re-enable them.
