“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. […] All open source security teams are hitting this right now.”— Greg Kroah-Hartman, The Register, 26.03.2026 ↗
