Yeah, I help review security reports for a small FOSS organization, and someone reported a "critical" vulnerability about a publicly-accessible SVN server. Like yes, that is indeed the purpose of hosting open source software. But at least that report was obviously bogus; much worse are the ones that look legitimate at first, so you have to read through dozens of AI-generated paragraphs to make sure that there's nothing valid hidden in there.


I use AI to read such emails!
