Or people don't ask questions for which the answer is known to be "None, really."

I get that many don't like what LLMs are doing to the industry, but this is just incorrect reaction to a very specific benefit that's proven beyond doubt (Security hardening).

Accept it imo - LLMs are solving very large problems that have plagued software security.

Sorry it is your reaction that is really weird. These are legitimate questions, and I have definitely seen Claude finding the wrong cause and then implementing completely incorrect/irrelevant fixes, only to find that it didn't work and need to start over. Not saying humans don't do the same thing, but LLMs are far from perfect, and it would be delusional to only talk about successes.

I've done security work before, and I've done it now with frontier. I've seen the difference first hand, and as the OP and so many other articles show, so have the leading experts in the world.

So either they are lying, or you may not yet be seeing and experiencing what they are. If that's wierd, ok.

You did not address my points or those in OP but kept repeating yours (that are not even relevant) in a handwavy way.

And that's fine. You can continue to live in your bubble. Others simply have different experience, and your asserting "AI is perfect" on a forum is not going to matter in terms of everyone's own, first hand experience.
