  • Have we been running insecure software since the arrival of AI?

    No, “AI” doesn’t exist and software has been insecure since it was invented.

    Has anyone had this sensation and if so has anyone linked this to AI finding more holes in OSS that would have normally been found by human scrutiny?

    A major point of automated security checks is that humans didn’t find these vulnerabilities and might never have found them without computational aids.

    does it mean that we have been running insecure software all along?

    Yes, 10000%. Security is a complete illusion even with automated checks. If an organization has enough time and money (eg. state surveillance), they will hack whatever they want to hack.
