You mean all the AI "slop" that's finding and writing new kernel exploits every day? And submitting hundreds of previously-unknown security bugs in critical software?

What are you saying here? An LLM helped humans do something right once therefore it's perfect to use in every other situation too?
llms aren't doing any of that. Some smart people are using llms find those vulns, there's a huge difference.
Your definition of "do" seems different than mine.
Call it agentic all we want, the LLM has no agency. It's not a living thing, it's a tool employed by humans and it helps humans do things we wouldn't normally be able to do, like a calculator. The fact that Claude is getting the credit for it and not the humans guiding it is just an artifact of Anthropic's marketing.
