Severity: Low Mood: Ridiculous

The industry is currently bickering over whether an AI finding one solitary vulnerability in Curl is a sign of machine brilliance or just another polished marketing campaign. While the lead developer remains unimpressed by the hype, the rest of us are forced to endure yet another debate about software that actually bothered to be secure in the first place.

It primarily affects developers who have to listen to people claim that chatbots are the new security audit.
