No, the biggest problem at the root of all this is complexity. OpenSSL is a garbled mess. No matter AI or not, such software should not be the security backbone of the internet.

People writing and maintaining software need to optimize for simplicity, readibility, maintainability. Whether they use an LLM to achieve that is seconday. The humans in the loop must understand what's going on.
