The essay argues that AI companies have exaggerated their role in vulnerability discovery using the php2shell project as an example, where Anthropic, OpenAI, and Wiz each released different narratives about the same work. She contends that LLMs still require human expertise to guide them and cannot independently discover vulnerabilities in major projects like the Linux kernel.

“if you threw an llm at the linux kernel and told it to find an rce without any other guidance, it probably couldn't. you still need skill and experience to guide an llm at the current state”
