It makes sense. This process of searching for bugs was slow and time-consuming so it needed to be incentivized. This is no longer the case. Now the hard part is in identifying which ones are real.
To paraphrase a famous quote: AI-equipped bug hunters find 100 out of every 3 serious vulnerabilities.
> Now the hard part is in identifying which ones are real.
So it’s still a slow and time consuming process.
The process of finding bugs is still slow and time consuming. The kinds of vulnerabilities you find in codebases like cURL are still beyond AI. Binary exploitation is still a human only field.
