I remembered seeing a post on Mastodon a while ago about an AI-generated vulnerability report, and this article reminded me of that. Turns out, that old one was also about curl. He has been dealing with this bullshit for a while now. https://mastodon.social/@bagder/111245232072475867

On that old one, the indignant attitude of the guy who "reported" the vulnerability still irritates me. He admits that he used AI (this was when Google's AI was called Bard, so that's what he means by "I have searched in the Bard"), and still has this tone of "how dare you not have fixed this by now!"
