Developers are increasingly turning to generative AI for security fixes, often due to pressure and gaps in their own secure coding knowledge. But is this actually helping, or just making things worse?
A deep dive into over 400 AI-generated patches showed a worrying drop in fix accuracy when developers relied solely on the AI. Many couldn't even explain how the suggested patch worked! This suggests AI might lead to over-reliance and a superficial understanding, potentially degrading essential secure coding skills instead of enhancing them.
