You're probably right that the reality of proton gray and not so black and white and they have done both good and bad but on pentesting vibe coded code with just more LLMs is wrong and probably why you got downvoted so much. You absolutely have to have a human expert involved in security, there is no alternative. Would you and your dearest family fly on a plane designed entirely by AI and checked exclusively by AI? I didn't think so. LLMs are still a great tool and an amazing second set of eyes but they can't be trusted
This is a good point. AI vibe-coded stuff that hasn't been pentested being pushed in a product promising security and privacy is genuinely terrible. Perhaps that one thing is so terrible it should rightfully overshadow everything else because of the risks involved.
