Historically they’ve been people from certain identifiable countries (usually developing/poorer countries) using fuzzers with low-quality results.

Now, those same people use the current-day models to good effect, but they still don’t have a true security edge and oftentimes the reports are minor or duplicative.

I wonder if that’s about to deeply change.

What I've done on my end is created a project where I have a remote Linux workstation. I can create multiple worktrees for each repo in that workstation, and then my agent can push PRs to GitHub and use the actions infrastructure to see if the integration tests that it writes for itself are successful without needing to run those integration tests on the local environment. It's expensive in terms of runner hours, but the automaticity of it is incredible.

My theory is that people are fundamentally averse to the thought and effort it takes to write a good quality email. Then there’s probably some underlying belief that more volume shows more effort, which people will perceive positively. And finally, there's the worry that if you write the email yourself, you might make some embarrassing wording, grammar, or spelling mistake.

Just FYI the first quote on your site references a date we haven’t reached yet!

Also worth checking out Atlas Obscura. Kind of similar, kind of different.
