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.

I agree that 0-days aren't numbered. There are so many layers on which tech can be exploited that this is a difficult claim to make.
On the other hand, there are two different kind of exploits: clear holes in the logic, a situation or code path not considered by the coder. And the much harder to catch extremely creative ways to make a program do things it was never designed to do.
I have not seen LLMs doing creative things ever, so I doubt it would catch this second category. But sure, catching some logic holes it can be helpful with.
