""Months ago, we were getting what we called 'AI slop,' AI-generated security reports that were obviously wrong or low quality. It was kind of funny. It didn't really worry us.""
""Something happened a month ago, and the world switched. Now we have real reports. All open source projects have real reports that are made with AI, but they're good, and they're real.""
""We don't know. Nobody seems to know why. Either a lot more tools got a lot better, or people started going, 'Hey, let's start looking at this.'""
""For the kernel, we can handle it. We're a much larger team, very distributed, and our increase is real - and it's not slowing down.""
AI-generated security reports for Linux have evolved from low-quality 'AI slop' to real, actionable insights in just a month. This shift is observed across all open source projects, with security teams reporting an increase in quality. The reasons for this change remain unclear, but it is evident that the scale of AI involvement is growing. While larger teams like the Linux kernel can manage this influx, smaller projects may struggle and require additional support.
