What these articles never say is how many hallucinated bugs the LLM found that either weren't real or were actually exploitable.

It literally wouldn't matter if it did.

The fact that it found exploitable bugs means that these bugs need to be addressed. To be clear, I care much more about the security flaws and fixing them than how they were discovered.

I feel like you missed the forest for the trees.

The question is how many were made up?

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I saw that, and you're right, I wasn't answering that question. What I was saying was that I thought the question was irrelevant and ignoring a bigger issue.

[–] wholookshere@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 hours ago

I disagree that its ignoring the bigger problem, which is that slop like this is overwhelming devs to get fixes out ASAP faster than they can fix.

So now we have AI big reports feeding AI big fixes in a lot of projects.

The assumption that what AI finds is correct in the first place is.... Probably wrong.

It makes stuff up all the bloody time, so how many of these bugs were made up, or not actually bugs?
