Yeah and this isn’t a new paradigm, in the sense that tools to find exploits have gotten better repeatedly and allowed those with enough knowledge to use the tools to find them, regardless of if they could manually craft the exploit themselves. There’s a multitude of bug bounties that have been claimed by those who knew how to let a reverse engineering tool like ghidra hammer away at something with variation for long enough. And the models are capable of novel exploits on their own, but generally they are just doing the same, hammering ghidra with an MCP at accelerated scale. So “only ai would have found this bug” is technically untrue and moot.
