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.

Such a lemmy moment, unable to admit AI is capable of anything that might be considered useful.

Yes AI is good at writing bugs, it's also good at finding exploits.
