And yet they didn't (either noone ran them, or they didn't find it, or they did find it but it was buried in hundreds of false positives) for 20+ years...

I find it funny that every time someone does something cool with LLMs, there's a bunch of takes like this: it was trivial, it's just not important, my dad could have done that in his sleep.
