The title is pretty self explanatory, but will opensource software become less and less safe compared to "big company software", as big companies gain access to more and more advanced AI to test for their vulnerabilities? Or even malicious actors gaining access to more advanced AI, able to break into opensource software made by a small team easier? Should a privacy oriented person then stay away from such software?

And, yes ... I'm tired of AI, AI, and more AI.

They have the budgets, and connections, to market that theirs is safe, and open source with ai is hackers, witches, and communists.
