How many of those automated fixes were reverted? How many introduced a new bug? What's the false positive rate on the finding agents? The post has counts for everything that went right and nothing for what could go wrong.

Exactly, also it lacks a lot of context as to why they did that.

Possible (probable?) scenario:

- Marketing: "we found and fixed lots of bugs thanks to AI"

- Reality: the KPI is now to fix as many bugs as possible with the help of AI, so they used AI to search old and easy bugs in the backlog, and then fixed it manually

You're not supposed to ask sane questions here

That's AI for you.

At Amazon we have many forums to share our AI wins, but none to share AI failures or disappoinments.

No wonder execs make bad decisions regarding AI, they only hear completely one-sided stories.
