I thought the idea was that AI would make us collectively better off, not flood the zone with technical debt as if thousands of newly minted CS/bootcamp graduates were unleashed without any supervision.

LLMs are still stochastic parrots, though highly impressive and occasionally useful ones. LLMs are not going to solve problems like "what is the correct security model for this application given this use case".

AI might get there at some point, but it won't be solely based on LLMs.

Frankly I've seen LLMs answer better than people trained in security theatre so be very careful where you draw the line.

If you're trying to say they struggle with what they've not seen before. Yes, provided that what is new isn't within the phase space they've been trained over. Remember there's no photographs of cats riding dinosaurs but SD models can generate them.

Saying that they aren't worse than an incompetent human isn't a ringing endorsement.
