MODERATORS
I have never seen any statistic that Sloppers write as good code as normal human beings. Quite the opposite, in fact, studies have shown AI Slop has singlehandedly created more vulnerabilities total than any other changes in tech or software. We're talking multitudes uptick in errors.
It not only doesn't make sense at large scale, but it also doesn't even make sense anecdotally. You're telling me a guy or gal who autogenerates code using a flawed statistical model which is famous for its absurd hallucinations, inability to count, violent amorality, and complete lack of puzzle solving capability can somehow be as good as a professional human being? I don't buy it. I don't support people who do buy it. I hate them, in fact, if only for the massive costs on consumers and the environment resulting from the training and operating of these bullshit generators.
Link?
LINK 1 Analysis of Github Repos
LINK 2 Veracode's report on generative AI code from a hundred different models.
LINK 3 Ox Security report on 2025's record high number of CVE, and critical issues per organization increased by about about 4x.
LINK 4 "We have a package for you!" study shows 1 in 5 AI code generations include a package dependency which does not exist which is in itself a huge security risk.
Links 1, 2, and 4 definitely don't confirm what you said - that "AI Slop has singlehandedly created more vulnerabilities total than any other changes in tech or software". They are just saying that AI isn't very good at writing secure code. That's a very different claim.
I'm not sure about link 3 - seems like you have to pay to get the report or something.
I've proven the massive error and vulnerability rate of slopping, so until you can prove any other example was worse then the point stands. And Ox is very much a reliable source with the findings on the page regardless of if you can access the full study.
