I don't understand why this is a bad thing, if AI code can find long overlooked bugs that can be verified and repaired by humans, let them.

This sudden spike is just a function of having a new tool, these reports and repairs will settle as long as the fixes and new features aren't just vibe coded into place.

The real concern is the quality of the patches AI are making. If they are badly trained (i.e. learning with buggy code, which is all of it over time) then there is a possibility that it can introduce bugs that did not exist, or possibly do nothing to patch the bug, while adding incoherent code to an existing codebase

3 vulnerabilities in the code, use AI patch one up, 99 vulnerabilities in the code

The last line is the key factor and exactly what's the issue.

Errors because of vibe coding?
