AI coding tools are pretty good at finding bugs and make it easier and faster to fix them.

Importantly, security vulnerabilities in new releases seem to stay roughly the same and the change to which bugs count as CVEs was around version 6.8 already.

regressions ? because that seems to be exploding for every other project.

Would those be regressions with, or without automated regression tests? (Assuming without.)

When you've got a minion at your disposal who can code really really fast, one good use for it is to have it code automated unit and regression tests.
