From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Add to that that AI is pretty good at copying from pre-existing knowledge (like a database of known vulnerabilities) and not good at generating novel ideas (like discovering a new vulnerability), and the scales are further tilted in the defenders' favor.
Eh, I don’t totally agree. AI can discover novel exploits that aren’t already in some database, and likely have in this case.
I’m just saying the operating patterns between different LLMs are more similar than you’d expect, like similar tools from the same factory.
