There are a finite number of bugs in any given proposed kernel release.
If tools find 2000 of them, and they are remediated, then there are
2000 fewer bugs in that release. It's a zero-sum game, or a close
approximation, where Team LLM Apocalypse steadily loses as the number
of discovered and discoverable bugs goes down.

New code will introduce new bugs. It's still a zero-sum game: the
number of new bugs introduced in new code is finite. These bugs will be
discovered, fixed, and number go down.

But like I wrote last night, "number go down" doesn't draw the clicks
and the ad revenue.
