As cooked as we were pre-LLMs knowing that security exploits are relatively easy to learn about online and use, yet things keep chugging along.

This would just speed up the discovery -> patch cycle, at least until such time that all the low hanging fruit (=represented in training data) is patched.

Though another possibility would be that since LLMs generate so much code, the LLM vulnerability discovery would just keep chugging along and we'd simply settle for the same amount of potential vulns, same relative vulnerability-exploit-patch dynamics, though higher in absolute numbers.
