Really puts egg on the face of the anti-LLM folks who claim they only produce garbage code. Turns out they are very good at exposing the garbage code humans have been producing for decades.
Personally I think LLMs did only produce garbage code. Not coincidentally, the same upgraded LLMs that have gotten so good at finding bugs are also much better at not writing bugs. Especially if you make them review their own work. They still have a hard time with code design, though.
I claimed that at time when LLM were producing only and solely garbage code.
I am not doing it anymore.
That is not the take-away. LLMs are finding potential bugs in code. People are using LLMs to create potential fixes which people then test, confirm and implement.
Disagree. The takeaway is that software is much harder to write correctly and securely than almost everyone has internalized. The amount of vulnerabilities released in the past couple weeks makes me think writing software by hand will soon be not only uneconomical, but mostly irresponsible.
