That article mostly talks about patch management. You might want a different link, but I just picked the first one on offer.

AI.. Why?
Everything is becoming Swiss cheese!

AI.. Why?

Because it's faster and (sometimes) better than a human. In this case, AI is doing good things. Given how long some of these vulnerabilities have existed, who knows how long it would have been before a human found them.

True,

I suppose on the scale of useful uses for AI, finding bugs in code ranks a lot higher than many of the other popular AI activities.

i do check my scripts for bugs using AI. it has opened my eyes how insecure code i have been producing. at least only user (of those programs) is me.

That is good that you are, at least, keeping it to yourself !

AI indeed does very good job when it comes to code analysis, it's not good to write new code but very effective at spotting bugs.

AI is doing an amazing job here, as others have noticed in the thread.
Linux kernel code was a Swiss cheese.
Now, it's less so - bugs are being fixed, after all!
