It often makes up non existent vulnerabilities. I think it was curl getting flooded with fake vulnerability reports which drowns out real reports, esp because it can take time to parse through the code or run the poc

Is this not an advantage? If AI can find new security vulnerabilities reliably?

Yeah, but you can have it scan without implementing.
